I think I already stated that history shows that the motivation of Iraq to help Iran is not pure. Unless you define the word "pure" in terms gaining a stategic military power advantage.

You don't pet polar bears at the zoo because you're not allowed to. There are lerge fences between you and the bears, as well as secutiry.

My primary reason for not petting polar bears at the zoo is because polar bears are dangerous. So even if they allowed me to pet the polar bear I wouldn't. It seems your logic has those reasons reversed, as is the logic being used by Iraqi leaders thinking about seeking help from Iran. Iran should not accept help primarily because Iran will take over Iraq if they can. Sadaam would have never allowed Iran get involved in Iraqi affairs, now the he is gone (the fence), they want to "pet the polar bear at the zoo".

But again, what does that have to do with Iran and Iraq?

Come on - use your imagination. I love colorful analogies, they make reading fun and requires creative thought.

Time will tell.
The US will leave Iraq in disgrace.
Iraq will seek and get help from other ME countries including Iran.
War will continue and spread in the ME.
Democracy in Iraq will fail
Isreal will be attacked.
The US will have to take military action to finish the work we don't have the will to finish today.
