To achieve that end, Syria is the prime guilty party in sending Sunni jihadis into Iraq to slaughter Shias:
Between 50 and 70 foreign fighters sneak over the border into Iraq every month, Maj. Gen. William Caldwell, chief US military spokesman in Iraq, said last week. Most come from Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Egypt, or Syria.
Not a lot enter Iraq but they are bloody minded.
And the Iranians get Sunnis slaughtered by arming Shia thugs and sending Iranians into Iraq to pose as Iraqi Shias:
Moqtada al-Sadr, a Shiite firebrand who heads the militia known as the Mahdi Army, recently told a top official of the Iraqi intelligence service that "an increasing number of Shia death squads, operating under the name of his Mahdi Army, are Iranian pasdaran (Revolutionary Guards) staff officers and Hezbollah fighters, who are executing operational activities that he is not aware of, nor can he control,'' according to one U.S. source.
It is a strange, sick, and cynical alliance that pairs an Arab state with a Persian state that attempts to foment chaos and mass murder of both Sunni and Shia Arabs as shared national objectives.
