Iran obtained Nuke plans on black market

[WCSox]

The result of the meeting is Iran referring to the new Iraqi government as a friend in the region. Last time I checked, when we met the North Koreans, they didn't go around saying, "The U.S. is a trusted friend."

 

As opposed to Iraq officially referring to Iran as a "friend in the region." You don't think that Iran's comments were meant to be a swipe at the U.S.?

 

Like I said before, I'm sure that a large segment of Iraqis (particularly the Shiites) are going to be sympathetic to Iran for obvious reasons. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that those sentiments will be reflected in official government policy.

 

I like this quote:

 

“Iran and Iraq will always remain in this region, the others, however, will eventually leave.”

 

Iraq and Iran are talking because it's important for them to peacefully coexist. Unlike the U.S. and North Korea, who are halfway around the world from each other, peaceful coexistence between two countries that share borders is important.
