The two most powerful forces in the area are the Shiite Alliance in iran on the one hand, and the extremist sunnis on the other. Weve seen our friends, saudi arabia and others move toward what theyll expect as quote moderate islam, or acceptable islam, and embrace the brotherhood, turkey qatar and part of al qaeda.
