Tensions between Iraq’s Shi’ite majority and its Sunni Arab minority are nothing new, but after a previous sectarian civil war broke out during the US occupation, many believed the Sunnis had been beating into virtually submission.
The ongoing Syrian Civil War may be doing a lot to change that, as the prospect of Western-backed regime change putting a Sunni, likely Islamist, government in charge in Syria has many in Iraq’s border provinces, themselves Sunni Arabs, seeing a key new ally emerge.
For peaceful protesters in Iraq’s west, there is a sense that the Maliki government is going to have a hard time violently crushing their rallies, and many Shi’ites in the government are conceding that efforts to do in late April so were a strategic blunder.
That’s only one part of the equation, however, and while protests against discrimination and authoritarianism may be irksome to Maliki, the much more dangerous effect of Syria is that the jihadists on both sides of the border are increasingly allied.
Al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) and Syria’s Jabhat al-Nusra are so joined at the hip the US State Department has concluded that they’re basically the same group. As Nusra takes more and more territory around the Iraqi and Jordanian borders, spillover violence and arms transfers back and forth are only going to grow, and if the war in Syria does get resolved with a regime change, it may effectively give AQI a state sponsor right along the Iraqi border.
This is what USA and EU governments wants.., as long as there is no unity between nations in Middle East.., the west have a upper hand to steal the people's wealth and for Israel freely stealing the Palestinians land.., and Arab league is worried about Syrian government wanting it to change.., you must be a man of delusional world to believe that and having a diploma sent to you by the west thinking that west is going to save you…, NO west is neither interested in saving you nor west is going to help to unite you.., what west will do is create another war, a dictatorial system or let you kill each other as long you refuse to see the truth.
What a hypocricy ! Again such a headline:
"Syria’s Civil War Fueling Violence in Iraq"
As if Syria or the Syrian war would be responsible for the situation in Iraq !
Actually it is proofed that in both cases USA (with help of Saudis etc.) did provide and manage violence! This article cleverly tries to hide this.
It is the USA who did plan and managing this war against Syria – as they did install these permanent internal conflicts and parties – in order to devide and rule – and exploit.
All these terrorist groups are created by USA !
Proof that USA did create them, train them, pay them and sent them to this long planned war on Syria (and other "soviet client states"):
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton admitted that the USA created Al Qaeda/Jihadis/Mujahedin watch?v=z5oMyZwz10Q
“The United States spent millions of dollars to supply Afghan schoolchildren with textbooks filled with violent images and militant Islamic teachings….The primers, which were filled with talk of jihad and featured drawings of guns, bullets, soldiers and mines, have served since then as the Afghan school system’s core curriculum. Even the Taliban used the American-produced books,..”, (Washington Post, 23 March 2002)
“Advertisements, paid for from CIA funds, were placed in newspapers and newsletters around the world offering inducements and motivations to join the [Islamic] Jihad.” (Pervez Hoodbhoy, Peace Research, 1 May 2005) Source: http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va…
The CIA’s Islamist Terrorist Network http://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2012/09/12/…
After Afghan war the US terrorists were used in 1990ies in the war to dismantle Yugoslavia in a staged civil war, namely in Bosnia and Kosovo, than in Chechenya, Sudan, in Iraq to maintain Chaos and terror, in Libya and now Syria – even to Mail the US did sent their Al CIAda fighters in order to get and "excuse" for France to invade and being accepted by the people who do not want to be ruled by these Islamist killers.
The source of the top US defense office statement in 1991 regarding war on Syria or originally "to clean out those soviet client states" was former US presidency candidate and NATO general Wesley Clark:
watch especially: min 3:30-4:40 5:13-5:45
Why actually such information is permanently ignored at antiwar and why are submitted articles about it regularly censored here?
Only here in discussion it is possible – however, I guess its a low percentage who "click to discuss" if one wants just to inform himself.
Antiwar begins to become famous as organization to fool the antiwar movement:

I personally do not think Syria has anything with civil war in Iraq, Jason. I was too surprised by the title of your article. It really sounded more like Wall Street Journal or Washington Post. Civil war in Iraq has been going on for 10 years and started along with illegal invasion of Iraq "aptly" and ironically named "Operation Iraqi Liberation" or OIL. Jason the Iraq violence is fed by its civil war and does not need Syria for that. I am really amazed by your effort to link Syria to Iraq violence especially since Iraq civil war predates Syria's one. and it is more correct to say that US is responsible for it than any other country.
