The Nation: US Must Work with Iran to Stabilize Both Iraq and Syria

Back in 1977, President Jimmy Carter issued a now-infamous remark during a visit to Tehran, when he toasted the soon-to-fall Shah of Iran and called his country an “island of stability.” Maybe he was just a few decades early. Today, even a cursory look at the region between North Africa and Afghanistan reveals that Iran, now led by a new president who’s seeking to strike a deal with the United States and the West, is indeed an island of stability—especially when measured against chaos in Libya, a profound crisis in Egypt, civil wars and violence in Syria, Iraq and Lebanon, and an Afghanistan that may very well fall apart when the United States leaves.

That’s precisely why it’s so important for the talks between the United States and Iran to succeed. Iran can play an important stabilizing role in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. Indeed, according to the Associated Press, Tehran has quietly offered to assist Iraq’s Prime Minister Maliki in Iraq’s battle against Al Qaeda, which is trying to seize and control territory in Anbar Province and has captured significant parts of Ramadi and Falluja, two important Anbar towns. According to the report, Iran’s army deputy chief of staff has offered to supply Iraq with “military equipment and advisers” but said that Iran would not supply Iraq with Iranian troops. Ironically, the general’s remarks came just as Secretary of State John Kerry, on a lengthy swing through the Middle East, said almost exactly the same thing, namely, that the United States would supply Iraq with arms, military assistance and other help, but no troops.

So, we're supposed to take the false prophecy of a president that was held hostage for 444 days as a key to beg favors from a terrorism exporting expansionist dictatorship to help stabilize nations that Obama is directly responsible for destabilizing while giving that dictatorship the diplomatic leverage it needs to exterminate Israel and further destabilize the Arab states under a nuclear threat.

THIS is what qualifies as advice from liberals.

That's like supporting the Axis in 1938 because they were a force for economic improvement and social progress...or hand-feeding a pet tiger shark while trying to keep him on a diet, to the extent there's any real difference

We would be in a lot better shape in foreign policy if nadin took her big rig over to the middle east and reported on the raging inferno owebuma has caused over there.
