Iyad `Allawi: and Shi`ite sectarianism in the Middle East
The reason why the sectarian conflict in the Middle East grew and expanded is that no one was qualified to combat the Saudi Wahhabi plan. I mean, Hizbullah is the logical rival of Saudi Arabia but Hizbullah itself is burned by its sectarian agenda and composition, and its relations with Iran which prevent it from going all out against Saudi Arabia. So Hizbullah is supporting the electoral list of `Ammar Al-Hakim and Muqtada As-Sadr, while the Amal Movement was supporting `Allawi, who is close to Nabih Birri, although Ahmad Chalabi (who aligned himself with Hakim and As-Sadr) used to allegedly fund Amal in the 1980s. `Allawi (former puppet prime minister/car bomber/embezzler in Yemen/Saddam henchman and possible fabricator of an assassination plot on his life in London) was on Aljazeera yesterday. He praised the resistance to US occupation troops and said that he serves as "the bridge" between the Iraqi resistance in the political process in Iraq. Allawi basically ran his campaign as Ba`th light, with the support of Prince Muqrin. For this I now have a theory: that Prince Muqrin can win any election in the Middle East. He won in Lebanon, Iraq, and will soon win in Palestine. This is why, I dont call for elections or democracy in the Middle East--until further notice.
