FOLLOWING A RECENT MEETING IN RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA WITH PAKISTANI LEADERS AN AGREEMENT WAS REACHED ON "SUNNI UNITY" TO FACE THE GROWING THREAT FROM IRAN. FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW, PAKISTAN IS A NUCLEAR STATE WHICH HAS AN ESTIMATED 100+ BOMBS. IN RECENT YEARS IRAN HAS EXTENDED ITS INFLUENCE WESTWARD INTO IRAQ, YEMEN, SYRIA AND LEBANON. APPARENTLY THIS GROWTH IN IRANIAN INFLUENCE HAS CAUSED THE GOVERNMENT IN ISLAMABAD TO TAKE A SECOND LOOK AT IT'S SUNNI FRIENDS IN THE MIDDLE EAST. AMERICA'S RECENT ACTIONS TOWARD IRAN HAVE LEAD MANY IN THE GULF STATES TO FEAR THEY CAN NO LONGER COUNT ON THE U.S. FOR PROTECTION FROM AN INCREASINGLY DANGEROUS IRAN. SERIOUS CONFLICT IS LOOMING IN THIS AREA AND EVENTS ARE QUICKLY SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL WITH NO GOOD OUTCOME ON THE HORIZON. MEANWHILE THOSE AT THE WHITE HOUSE HAVE SEENINGLY TAKEN A LACKADAISICAL VIEW OF THE ESCALATING EVENTS. THE RECENT ACTIONS BY IRAN AND THE SPREADING REGIONAL CONFLICT COULD IN THE END BE THE SPARK THAT STARTS WWIII. YOU CAN READ MORE ON THIS STORY HERE.
