   I think that Bush’s stance may have very well been encouraged by the U.S-Irani agreement on Broad policy regarding Iraq ( division of iraq and control over oil resources) reached last month. One that is similar to the one that had been signed in 2003 prior to the invasion regrading the cleansing of the secular middle class, deconructing the secular socilaist institutions and enpowering ethnic Persians in the liberated Iraq’s new institutions. There, the Iranian sectarian discourse had started to prevail. If you look at the map of Iran you will definetly come out with the conclusion that there is no way out of Iran’s isolation except by fueling sectarianism and highlighting the precedence of religous identity in the middle east. As without sectarianism, Iran is no longer a part of the middle east from which it had been shut out for the last 400 years, first by the Ottomoanian empire, then by Arab nationalism in the 20th century . That in turn, explains why Iran is the main fuel of sectarianism and religous fanaticism in th region .
