you are right. The same way the U.S. supported Gaddhafi and Assad once. Didn't the Assad Government help us bring down Hussein whom was Sunni? So the Alwaites in the minority helped to bring down Hussein and now the Sunnis are helping to bring down the Alwaites. Now the Government in Iraq is very friendly to Iran and let them use their air space to the U.S. dismay. What is the end game here for the U.S. strategy to create a Democracy for Israel's security? Which Government will we overthrow next? This is nothing more than what I call the strategy of a Blind mouse.
