Blowback in Iraq by Justin Raimondo

The creation of a Shi'ite mega-state in the heart of the Middle East has the entire region boiling over with religious and nationalistic antagonism, making it not only the seedbed of a worldwide Islamic insurgency directed against the U.S. but also the launching pad of a new global war, what the neocons call "World War IV." The triumph of revolutionary Shi'ism in Iraq was entirely predictable, so much so that one can only ask if the creation of a new "Islamic Republic" by U.S. force of arms wasn't deliberate, rather than the outcome of sheer incompetence and ignorance. Could the aim be to provoke a worldwide Shi'ite-Sunni civil war within Islam, so as to take the pressure off the West and Israel?
