    IRAN PLANNING ETHNIC CLEANSING IN IRAQ?

    Indications are that Ahmadi-Nejad is planning three massive campaigns
    of border adjustments and ethnic cleansing on a scale that will make
    Slobodan Milosevic look like a petty thief. Ahmadi-Nejad's threats
    against Israel represent only the tip of the iceberg of his plan
    to create a new "National Socialist" Middle East. In most danger
    following Israel are Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the Persian Gulf states,
    Lebanon, and Azerbaijan

    First, Iran will drive all the Sunnis from Iraq, and use Iraq to
    consolidate Iranian control of Lebanon, Syria, and the Persian Gulf.

    To do this, Iran will alter Iraq's borders and will probably annex
    outright eastern Iraq including the Basra region that contains 60%
    of Iraq's proven oil reserves.

    In order to partition Iraq, Iran will also encourage Iraqi Kurds, with
    whom Tehran already has a political agreement aimed at disenfranchising
    the Sunnis, to drive all the Sunnis from Mosul and Kirkuk. The
    Kurds would then proclaim an independent Kurdistan, with Kirkuk as
    its capital. Kirkuk contains Iraq's largest oil reserves, following
    Basra. Thus, the Sunnis would be deprived of all substantial income
    from oil revenue.

    Iran's ethnic cleansing in Iraq would have catastrophic consequences
    for the region. For one thing, Iran then would be in a strong
    position after challenging Iraq's borders to challenge Saudi Arabia's
    borders. Specifically, Iran/Iraq would then stir up irredentist
    sentiment among Saudi Arabia's large Shia community abutting Iraq,
    which contains the bulk of Saudi oil reserves. Iran could make a
    power grab for this territory, which would touch off another round
    of ethnic cleansing as the Iraqi-Saudi border is adjusted.

    For another ethnic cleansing opportunity, Iran could spur Shia
    militancy in the Persian Gulf states like Bahrain. As these states fall
    into Iran's orbit, massive refugee flows of Arabs could ensue.Israel,
    Palestine and Lebanon.

    Second, Iran will drive all the Jews from Israel, along with the
    secular and Christian Palestinians, from "Palestine." Ahmadi-Nejad
    already openly boasts of "wiping Israel from the map." His pro-Shia
    ethnic cleansing for Iraq, Israel and Palestine would put severe
    pressure on the Shia in Lebanon, now under Iran/Hezbollah control,
    to follow suit with their own copycat ethnic cleansing campaign.Iran,
    Azerbaijan and Central Asia.

    Third, Iran will then turn on its domestic Azeri community -- some
    30 million strong and increasingly pro-Turkey.Iran's Azeris want
    no part of an Iranian empire in the region, which at some point
    entails Iranian confrontation with Turkey and Azerbaijan. Iran is
    already an ally of Armenia, much to the discomfort of Turkey and
    Azerbaijan who are locked in a bitter dispute with Armenia over the
    future of Nagarno-Karabakh. Iran's Azeris identify more with Turkey
    and Azerbaijan than with Tehran.

    In this final round of ethnic cleansing, Iran will send large numbers
    of Azeris to Turkey and Azerbaijan to remove a potential threat to
    the stability of Iran's theocratic regime. In a recent provocation,
    a leading official Iranian newspaper printed a cartoon depicting
    Iran's Azeris to Turkic-speaking cockroaches, a provocation that led
    to days of rioting and several deaths in Iran. Remember, whatever
    Ahmadinejad does to the Sunnis, Jews, and non-Islamist Palestinians,
    he will do to the Azeris.

    To put it another way, if Ahmadinejad chooses to pursue ethnic racist
    national socialist policies abroad, beginning in Iraq, he will do
    so at home as well. Of course Ahmadi-Nejad's entire ethnic cleansing
    plan is insane. So was Hitler's plan, but he went ahead anyway.
