Still divide and rule?

A trite question for the foreign invaders of Iraq: Still believe in the divide-and-rule colonial policy? Why US-led Iraqi overtures to Iran? Oil or Shia control over part of ME?

Rule over your fast food and fast life, and release the Israelites. How many visible gun barrels for each suicide attack? How long the recurring budget could afford this mad programme (Pound Sterling 500,000 per day in London alone)?

Saudi Arabia (the leader of the Islamic world) has a new monarch, but the nation's bank vaults are in the US. It is a tricky shifting of currency resources in the near future. Saudi Arabia has to lead in the right direction--it has to go via OIC to strengthen this neglected institution (step-fatherly treatment).

Now it is an open fight amongst the West, ME and East, rather than N and S. The compass is going haywire, as artificial magnetic fields are interfering. It is a human and social problem. The industrialised countries rely too much on lab scientists. Carry out more human surveys.
