Just to be clear, I suggested that
Iraq was growing tired of our inability to create stability. I'm sure Iran, on the other hand, is revelling in it.

But at the cost of appearing even more bullheaded than we already do? I would understand if the U.S. were to express deep reservations towards this relationship, but to take action against it (instant troop withdrawal?) would amount to threatening the soverignty of the Iraqi government. It's a delicate situation, and the last thing the U.S. should do is strongarm more than we already have.

I take issue with that. I think Iran's motives for seeking nuclear energy and Iran's motives to help Iraq are one and the same: grandstanding. This is putting them on the world stage. Does Iran
need nuclear energy to survive? I would guess not; there has to be a path of lesser resistance for them to have/produce the energy they need. Does Iran
need to help Iraq? Again, I think not, and I extremely doubt they're just being altruistic. They want something, and as of now, I think it's just attention.
