Saudi Arabia Arming Syrian Rebels: Extension of Proxy War Between Saudi Arabia and Iran

Today it was finally leaked that Saudi Arabia is arming Syrians revolting against the Assad regime (see: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/middle-east/Saudi-Arabia-sends-military-equipment-to-Syria-rebels/articleshow/12307918.cms). Surprise, surprise.

In fact, this is just an extension of the proxy war being fought between Saudi Arabia and Iran in Yemen. At issue is Sunni or Shiite dominion over the Muslim Middle East.

As even Obama is slowly beginning to understand, the resolution of all Middle East controversy does not involve a mere settlement of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.

  1. There is a lot of issues to be resolved between the Middle East and USA. I hope this would end peacefully without war and death.
