A horrible blunder, or intentional for some odd reason? -->

The biggest blunder IMO is that we have now created a second Shia-controlled nation right beside the Shia-controlled nation of Iran. Iraq used to be completely controlled by the Sunni minority(Saddam and Co) that was unfriendly to Iran's Shia extremist regime.

At the beginning of the war, Bush apparently(?) did not even have a clue who was Sunni and who was Shia, and the importance of this in the Muslim world. Iran is absolutely loving all of this. They are hysterically laughing at us. Iran loves what we did. It was in their best interest. In this respect, we were FAR better off with Saddam, or at least the Sunnis, in control of Iraq.

Creating a "democracy" in Iraq necessarily meant that Iraq would become Shia-dominated as opposed to the former Sunni-controlled state. On the surface at least, it appears that our leadership had little to no clue of this situation. The Shias will come to dominate Iraq and join forces with Iran if things remain as is.

Between the 
1) Shia controlled nations of Iran and [now]Iraq, 
2) the increase in Muslim extremism towards the West caused by this war, 
3) and then the Globalists' absolutely-bullshit new world order goals which are hurting us horribly in numerous ways->
 
our future looks very very bleak for a long time to come.

There is NO good solution at all to this entire situation. None. Too late now. Was this intentional for some hidden reason, or was it simply one of the greatest blunders in American foreign policy history? I am wondering if this was not intentional for some publically-unknown reason. Perhaps to create a new superpower to engage in a new cold war with? I wish I knew the answer.

A good map showing the Sunni and Shia concentrations(very important to understand this situation):

A great link OP, I'm convinced that Bush has the worst advisors on Islam in the world! Try telling a true Muslim that Democracy is better than Sharia law. I don't know if they even know the difference between Sunni and Shia!
