Yeah. It is becoming even more apparent that the Bush administration isn't so much concerned about the well-being of Iraq as it is with the dominion over its fate. As long as they see Iran as an undeniable threat, Iraq will remain unstable. This isn't so much about Iran's "meddling" as it is about the political and cultural factors of Iraq/Iran interactions.
This isn't the first time America as been insensitive (ignorant?) in this regard.
