The answer is Sarin gas.

And the question is…

"What kind of bullshit excuse can we use to get into a war with half of the Middle East?"

Really, people. Are our leaders so dumb that they don't know that they're siding with the Sunnis against the Shia?

Or is it a good old-fashioned Divide & Conquer tactic intended to split the Islamic world & make the Middle East into a rubble pile that Israel can walk into & take over?

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
