Like in the Cold War in Latin America the US again is implicitly supporting the death squads. It is looking away while Shias butcher Sunnis. This is policy. Irony is that the former policy in El Salvador was failing miserably until the Soviet Union collapsed. The policy was creating more revolutionaries than it killed. With the end of the Soviet's support the leftists sued for peace. Remember Bin Laden was a product of the same cold war strategy that created the Salvadorian death squads. So the question is what kind of Al Qaeda blow back will the Shias provide ten years from now? This is the “Salvadorian Option” posted by Negroponte and other NeoCons.
