Our puppet government in Iraq is not responding to the strings, and is now siding with Iran and with Syria, against the people of Syria. This was something that the war opponents predicted way back when: not the specific situation but the probability of the two countries making common cause. Yet another reason why making war on Saddam was so stupid. He represented absolutely no threat to us, and he was a useful counterweight to both Iran and Syria. Really, if you’re going to play realpolitik, you really ought to have some reality based view of your own interests.
