Destabilizing the region, and a generalized Sunni-Shiia war across MENA, seems to have been viewed as acceptable, if not entirely desirable, by some in the Clinton State Department and the Petraeus CIA and SOCOM.

Allowing the neocons to again take control over foreign policy repeated an historical error, one which the Obama Administration is just now beginning to realize the consequences of. One can only hope that they manage to pull this back together before the entire region explodes.
