Iraq's Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari warned on Saturday of the danger that the Syrian crisis might spill over into neighbouring states, and insisted that Iraq have a role in the future of Syria.
Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Hussein al-Shahristani meanwhile expressed concern that extremists in Syria will promote sectarian strife in the region.
"Our main concern is the spillover of the crisis ... into neighbouring countries, and no country is immune from this spillover because of the composition of the societies ... the connections, the sectarian ethnic dimensions," Zebari told a news conference in Baghdad.
If this conflict were to turn (into) an all-out sectarian or civil war, Iraq would be affected, Lebanon would be affected, Jordan will not be immune," as would also be the case with Turkey, he said, speaking alongside the foreign ministers of Poland, Sweden and Bulgaria, who were on a visit to Iraq.
"We don't want to see chaos reign, you see, in the region, in the neighbourhood, and that's why Iraq should have a say, a role in what is going to (happen) in Syria. No country can ignore or bypass Iraq in this regard," Zebari said.....snip~

That No Country can ignore or bypass Iraq in this regard. Could this mean that Shia are about to open a can of whoop-azz on the Sunni? Think the Saud will come to save the day?
