Eventually, we are going to have to decide which side to side with. Sunni or Shi'a? We are going to have to decide which presents more of a danger to Western Civ., and oppose them. The region will have to be stabilized in the aftermath of a war, and I'd image it would be to our advantage if the winner was an ally. Syria not withstanding, it seems thus far that the Sunni's are the greater enemy, yet we are allied with Sunni Saudi Arabia, while not trusting Iran with forthcoming nuclear weapons and their attitude toward's Israel. My fear is that if the Sunni's defeat the Shi'a, they are not stopping with that victory. However, the Shi'a could just as easy adopt the attitude of conquering the world. I don't think either side is going to broker a peace treaty with Israel, if there is still an Israel after war.
Or is it more likely that the world war will be a war to exterminate the victor's of the Muslim war?
