Krugman
citing Juan Cole on recent Iraq news
The entire episode underlines how powerful Iran has become in Iraq. The Iranian government had called on Saturday for the fighting to stop. And by Sunday evening it had negotiated at least a similar call from Sadr (whether the fighting actually stops remains to be seen and depends on local commanders and on whether al-Maliki meets Sadr’s conditions).
Notes the very cold reality of our Foreign Policy blunder
So America is spending $12 billion a month to sustain what has, in practice, become an Iranian sphere of influence.
