Who stands to benefit from civil unrest in Iraq?

AlJazeera Poll: “Who stands to benefit from civil unrest in Iraq?”

Neighbouring Arab country : 13% Neighbouring non-Arab country : 3% Israel and the US : 38% Internal Iraqi groups : 19% Combination of the above : 12% Unsure : 15%

Not surprisingly, “terrorists,” “Baathist thugs,” and “Al Jazeera” were not in the list. The article further implicates the US:

There might be infiltrators attacking the Shia to make it appear they are being targeted by Sunnis and the other way round. It is in the interest of both (Iraqi) Sunnis and Shia to agree on putting out this fire and not to react to such provocations,” said Shaikh Salman al-Udah.

(Needless to say, the problem in Iraq is a bit more serious than “civil unrest.”)

Dear god(s), Grant me courage and eloquence to boldly speak the truth when I know it; honesty to keep my mouth shut when I don't, the wisdom to know the difference, and the determination and integrity to discover the facts.
