Iraq & Iran Make Peace
By Micah Halpern

Tuesday August 21, 2007

I've Been Thinking:

Imagine my surprise when I saw that Iranian State TV broadcast that President Ahmadinejad was invited to Baghdad.
And he plans on going.

Iraq and Iran fought a brutal 8 year war and there is bad blood between them. But it seems as if they are trying to normalize relations and just recently the Iraqi foreign minister visited Iran.

The small problem with this invite is that the United States is Iraq's sponsor and by extension, the sponsor of Iraq's new freedom and democracy. It is precisely that freedom that allows Iraq to embrace Iran - an enemy of the United States.
The bigger problem is Iran. Iran stands for everything that is antithetical to a free and safe Iraq. Iran is a destabilizing influence.

Sooner or later Iraq will have to make a choice - either take a stand or be swallowed up by self destructive regional forces.
Only Iraq can make that decision.
That is democracy at work.
