This makes no sense

Now I realize that the coalition is unhappy about how well the war has worked out for Iran - without lifting a finger, it has gained tremendous influence in Iraq. But this accusation, that Iran is helping the Sunnis, makes no sense. Why would Iran help:

- the ethnic group killing their co-religionists?
- the ethnic group that waged war on Iran and brought it tremendous death and misery?
- the ethnic group opposing its political allies in the Shia south?

I have to think Britain is just making this stuff up for the home front. Nobody who knows anything about the Shiite could easily believe such a fantastical thing - its the equivalent of that nutty French-originated conspiracy theory that Israel attacked New York...

The Globe and Mail: Iran called out
