re: "Iran in Iraq: 300,000 Iraqi Shiites are unlikely to be wrong"
Tigerhawk, posting at Tigerhawk, has some interesting news today.
Interesting to note:
"The petition was "supported by" (the WaPo's term) "the People's Mujaheddin Organization of Iran, or Mujaheddin-e Khalq, an Iranian opposition group that is listed by the U.S. government as a terrorist organization but that nonetheless enjoys U.S. military protection in Iraq." This will undoubtedly provoke the rejoinder from the left that the petition itself must be an American black op, to which I will pre-ask the question, since when have our intelligence operatives been even close to that sophisticated in southern Iraq? Not that it wouldn't be wonderful if they were, but who's kidding whom?"

People simply do not grasp that the antipathy between Persians and their neighbors pre-date the current borders established at the fall of the Ottoman Turk Empire. Yes, a major component of it is religious, and yet this has been a divide in the region since well before the establishment of Islam as a political force. And with the realization spreading through the people throughout Iraq that they can, in fact, build their own future, bending knee to Iran/Persia/mullahs is becoming less and less a viable option.
Ayup.
