Middle East in sectarian divide

Middle East has plunged to a decade old era of political rivalry, which saw gulf wars and revolution decades back. Saudi Arabia, severed ties with Iran this week, in response to over the weekend attack on Saudi Embassy in Tehran. However that can only be said as immediate cause but actual cause might run deep.

Saudi Arabia has accused Iran for interfering with other countries' matter. Officials in support to Saudi action saying that Iran can't act as protector or spokesperson of Shite Muslims of the world.

But if Saudi Arabia can bomb Yemen to place a pro-Saudi, pro-Sunni government in place, why can't Iran?

Middle East fight has run much deeper now and policing in other nations' matter has become everyday norms. Despite negative arms report from United Nations, US attacked and toppled Saddam Hussain in Iraq, helped topple Muammar Gaddafi in Libya. Turkey has troops in Iraq, despite the protest of the country. Israel is bombing south Lebanon. US led coalition and Russia in its own separate mission bombing in Syria. Saudi Arabia wants to topple Assad regime. If these are not interfering in other nations' matter......we don't know what is.

Everyone made it everybody's everyday business to interfere in everyone's business. In old school of thought these actions would have been called as war. Now, outsiders don't wage war, rebellion happen from inside and outsiders support them.

Agree or not, Middle East is in a sectarian divide. Groups like Islamic State, Sunni hardliners trying to establish a caliphate or ruler of Muslims (Sunni of course...Shias would be killed). Without the support of larger group how a group can like that can sustain themselves. Sunni countries how can come together (Sudan, Bahrain) and join Saudis to cut off ties with Iran. UAE has cut partial ties with Iran.

It is so unfortunate to see that Middle East is now rid of all so called tyrants...... Saddam, Gaddafi but better days remain far off.
