Dubai "Deals" are important But Iraq is Exploding, so!

I intended last night to Blog about why Dubai was so interested in buying and getting involved with American military plants and our ports etc. The Bush administration, stung by the public outcry over the Dubai port deal, has launched a national security investigation of another Dubai-owned company set to take over plants in Georgia and Connecticut that make precision components used in engines for military aircraft and tanks, The Washington Post reports on Thursday page ones. Excerpts http://rawstory.com/news/2006/U.S._reviewing_second_Dubai_deal_Firm_0301.html

However, due to this article I saw this morning on the possibility of a civil war in Iraq and its aftermath I decided I had to discuss that ongoing fact once again. This is an exerpt:
Last Wednesday’s bombing of the Shi’ite golden mosque at Samarra was in all probability the work of Al-Qaeda in Iraq. The Shi’ite majority have most to gain from maintaining stability, but by bombing their most sacred shrine Zarqawi has finally unleashed the threat of civil war. Previous attacks had failed to provoke the retaliatory Shi’ite violence that has claimed more than 130 — mostly Sunni — lives since the mosque attack.
Zarqawi’s rationale is threefold.
First, civil war will prevent the Sunni minority from joining the current political process. He has denounced democracy as heretical on the grounds that it makes man obedient to man instead of Allah.
Second, civil war will unseat the “heretic” Shi’ite leaders, render the country ungovernable and ensure the failure of the US project.
*Third, Zarqawi is mindful of the huge reserves of Sunni military support in neighbouring countries — both on a national level and among the individual mujaheddin pouring into Iraq to aid their beleaguered brethren struggling against the Iran-backed Shi’ite militias.
"Civil war in Iraq could rapidly spread through the region". Many Sunni leaders are already unnerved by the growing influence of Iran in Iraqi internal affairs, and sectarian tensions have been brewing in several countries including Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Lebanon.
please read the entire article, it is right on!

I want to discuss this because I blogged quite a few times that the Iraq civil war is already under way and the entire Middle East will be embroiled in it. Also that Bush knew this and it was part of his ongoing plan for a new societal and world order. I was called by some the R word (Republican) but in fact the R word(Realist) does apply.
