I think it was planned the whole time.
It's simple, 80% of Iraq is Shiite. 100% of Iran is Shiite. ....
.... Iran will now "help" Iraq fix the Sunni problem. It's just that Iran will not ever leave. We are witnessing the beginnings of the "new" Persian empire.
It's no accident.

I see the Middle East being composed of 3 nations + Israel. 1 Sunni, 1 Shiite, and 1 small, more or less secular hanger-on. Perhaps run by Assad.
I don't see this as a bad thing. The 2 Islamic republics will constantly be at war with each other.
We don't have anything to lose in this case.
