against iraq and against iran and these shiite militias in iraq. over the couple in the next couple of days as you mentioned there is of course a lot of pressure on trump and these kind of situations and there's the upcoming election and whatnot given that 2 soldiers did 2 american soldiers are said to have been killed in this attack do you think we'll be seeing a much more harsh response. i think the response might not necessarily be harsh or harsher than not what we saw before but there probably be an attempt to exploit some weaknesses in iran the same weaknesses that caused the. g.c. the revolutionary guard to accidentally shoot down korean airliner i think that the pressure now that the united states and some of its allies are putting on iran is concentric rather than directly military they're trying to bring the government down by. causing. distrust in the population against their own government they're trying to get people on the streets and trigger a revolt i think that is. what. i'm seeing and the coronavirus has already certainly not done

sunnis and shiites are the two sects in islam and they split after the death of mohammed where people thought the heirs were the closest relatives and those became the shiites and some thought his heirs should be the closest competent in those became the sunnis. even in the first few decades following those identities were not as clearly defined and they involved over time. that is another preconceived idea, misconception, the people have in the region when even presidential obama said they been killing each other for melania and it will always be like that but i'd like to point out it hasn't always been like that and therefore it doesn't need to be like that forever. that is part of what drives the writing in this book is to remind us that there was a different path and there can be a different future. the final and third misconception is that people have particularly because of the constant droning on of the headlines that are focused on tyrants and dictators is that the region has always been in the throes of violence and always been intolerant and that cultural intolerance is part
