Iraq was the faultline of internal islamo conflinct up to the 1800's, persian Safavids *shites* vs ottomans sunni, The caliph of Istanbul declared shia's heretics of islam war ensued, Which stalled Ottoman turks from taking europe. Shites are clergical they accept authority from Imams and Ayotollahs not caliphates,They also believe in a Mehdi dude who will come like a messiah, Caliphs of the past pissed at having their authority infringed and striped away by shia clerics, naturally struck back.
Saddam Hussein like him or hate him was a Plug preventing Islamo meltdown like we see in iraq now,Infact Osama is linked with those Ottoman Caliphs as he follows their teachings.
To bad Bush didnt take a tip from Teddy Roosevelt and do his homework on the history of those he planning to fight he would forseen whats happening now.
