Shifting Alliances?
This seems like good news:
...some Iraqis are warming to a stronger relationship with Israel, in part because they are frightened of Iran's influence.
"They are afraid of Iran's extremist political system. If Iran were a democracy, they wouldn't be afraid," Alusi said. "We don't have border problems with Israel. We don't have historical problems with Israel," just Iran.
At last a glimmer of common sense on the issue. Of course, it's important to not let this grow into a civil war, with Israel and the Sunni Iraqis on one side, and the Shia and Iranians on the other.
