I've Been Thinking:

Most people do not follow the Persian news, so here I am to provide an important newsbreak - an item that has not yet been picked up by Western media.

Iraq's prime minister, Nouri al Maliki, visited Iran on Saturday.
Al Maliki came to talk about the upcoming US/Iraq security agreement.
The objective of this agreement is to maintain a United States presence in Iraq for the coming years - even after a US withdrawal.

Iran is against this agreement, of course.
Iran wants the US out Iraq ASAP.
The US wants to be able to monitor events on the ground, to be able to check on and maybe even respond to and prevent things from getting out of hand.

Iran does not and probably never will get it.
Iran thinks that this move by the United States is the height of arrogance.
Call it what you want, Iran is one of the big reasons the United States wants to keep a small force in the region.
