CAIRO (AFP) — An Iraqi Sunni delegation on a visit to Cairo on Wednesday urged Arab countries to act against what it called the "Iranian occupation" of Iraq.

"We would like a common Arab position to save Iraq and its people ...(in the face of) the Iranian occupation," Sheikh Majid Abdel Razzak al-Ali Suleiman said after a meeting with Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit.

"Such an Arab position, led by Egypt, is necessary to weaken Iran's role in Iraq, because if Tehran occupies this country, it will occupy other Arab countries too," said the head of the Dulaim tribe, which is concentrated mainly in Anbar province, west of Baghdad.

=============================================

The Arab vs. Persian thing is back again. Arabs rarely get along with Persians. I have a lot of Arab and Persian friends and they rarely hang out with each other. Iran is right next to Iraq. Iraq would be a lot worried about Iranian occupation. During the Persian Empire, Iraq was the center of the empire. American troops are going to be seeing the Arab vs. Persian up close and in person.

All of the Arab gulf need to worry about the Iranians with atomic weapons !
They could take over Saudi Arabia and Mecca and dictate terms to the Arab world !
An Iranian Caliphate based in Mecca backed up with Nuclear Weapons is a real nightmare to the rest of the world !

Well, the Sunnis are Sunnis. The Iranians are Shi'ites. Hopefully they're doing their urging for a good reason, but I fear it's for selfish purposes only.
