14. That depends...
...on whether you think there's method to the maddness of the US strategy in Iraq, or just unadulterated madness. I tend to believe the latter.

If I could see any possible reason why the US might want to foment a religious war in Iraq, then this idea might make some sense to me. I don't know of any convincing argument for why the US would *want* the current situation. All of the arguments people prevent for this position seem to boil down to:

1) Foment sectarian civil war in Iraq
2) ???
3) Profit!
