let's see now...the Sunni-Shia beef started about 1,380years ago. The USA embarked on a war of adventure in Iraq based on bullshit lies eight or nine years ago, and $700billion, around 4,000 American and undisclosed Iraqi lives, and it flares right back up? Who had any idea that would happen?
Thank goodness the troops that got out alive and unharmed did. Now that this chapter of foolishness is sort of over for us, the door is open for the next one.
There will be no stand alone air defense system in place for some time in Iraq. They don't start taking delivery of attack/defense aircraft till late next year. Until that time the good old USA will provide a defensive umbrella. It's an interesting coincidence that Israel would have had to fly around, not over Iraq to launch an illegal attack on Iran were this not the case. Somehow, I don't see US warplanes suppressing such an attack. Very convenient.
