Iraq's Eternal War By Time Inc. Kindle Edition Iraqs Eternal War What army would rather raze a few shrines than seize a capital city? The answer says a lot about the disaster now unfolding in Iraq and rippling throughout the Middle East. The rapid march by ISIS from Syria into Iraq is only partly about the troubled land where the U.S. lost almost 4,500 lives and spent nearly $1 trillion in increasingly vain hopes of establishing a stable, friendly democracy. ISIS is but one front in a holy war that stretches from Pakistan across the Middle East and into northern Africa. Whats happening in Iraq is the work of centuries, the latest chapter in the story of a religious schism between Sunni and Shiite that was already old news a thousand years ago. This Spotlight Story from TIME explores Iraqs Eternal War.
