What’s Surreal About This?
Remember the surreal Middle East: we freed Shiites from Saddam; so Shiite Iran in response tries to destroy Shiite democrats in Iraq, who, being constantly attacked by terrorists and militias, in turn sympathize with anti-democratic Hezbollah terrorists and militias in Lebanon. ~Victor Davis Hanson
Now thanks to the nature of the campaign in Lebanon, even Maronite democrats had started to sympathise with Hizbullah, so why exactly does Hanson find it surreal that Iraqi Shi’ites sympathise with their co-religionists? And what on earth is he talking about with respect to Iran and the Shi’ite “democrats” in Iraq–they back one of the main parties in the Iraqi government and arm their militia! Hanson is about to O.D. on the War Party’s Kool-Aid. Someone keep him away from the Kool-Aid!
