DISQUS

It is refreshing to hear a frank admission that the leaders we installed in Iraq are and always have been connected to Iran. The Bush Administration’s long focus on Iran has been very simplistic and one sided. They ignore the ways Iran has helped stabilize the country and focus on their efforts to keep us off balance and bleeding. They way forward, as the Iraq Study Group said nearly 2 years again, moves through and with Iran. They can be powerful allies in creating stable governments in both Iran and Afghanistan. This is not to say that working with them will be straight forward or easy, nonetheless our troops need the support that this regional power can provide. It is high time we started getting it for them.
