If we defeat ISIS. What will the ME look like? Will we then have a ME dominated by a Shiite Iran along with other Shiite held territories?

Extremism is a hydra. Where one head dies another takes it's place. It's been going on for centuries and until they want to change, they extremist groups will continue rebuilding under new leadership.

I agree with you, that's deeper problem we will see similar things in cultures still where is not good education, justice, equality, and where is problem with jobs, where is tolerance to violence include hidden forms etc. Ideologists use problems to start their move and to take power

Religimums will continue to be problematic for some time. ALL religimums. A pestilence since the 1st scammers discovered how to exploit others' fear of death.

GySgt John Olson You asked me to answer this question myself in another thread. I'm directing my response back to this thread because it is a more appropriate place to respond. Provided we do not put in place a stabilizing government with agreements which cover all of the tribal disagreements a rise of the Shiite Caliphate would take place. The rise of this Shiite Caliphate would lead to the domination and unrestrained genocide of the Sunni. As Iran gains power and territory it will become a greater threat to Saudi Arabia. A Shiite dominance in the event we defeated ISIS would increase this threat and lead to greater polarization of the area between Sunni Saudi Arabia and Shiite Iran.

GySgt John Olson - Here's the question again, "If we defeat ISIS. What will the ME look like? Will we then have a ME dominated by a Shiite Iran along with other Shiite held territories?" I did't ask the question you are posting. Maybe you would like to start a discussion thread on this question.

GySgt John Olson - Again you are redirecting as a means of engaging.

You must fix the crushing poverty there before you can fix anything else. This means no more puppet governments that sell their nation's resources to outside influences for paltry sums.

Do you really think that a defeat of Daesh will really change the majority influence of Sunni Islam versus Shia Islam in the Middle East? A defeat of Daesh will only return the Middle East to the status quo that existed before Daesh ever came about. To even think otherwise would be to discount hundreds of years of history in the Middle East.
