Iran is behind much of the sectarian violence. Please explain why it is in their interest to stop violence that they are actually causing
IF they reduce violence, that would allow us to reduce our troop levels
Did youa ctuallyr ead the article I posted??
"Now one has to ask, if Iran were to come to the table and resolve the sectarian violence in Iraq that Iran is largely responsible for in the first place, what would be the benefit for Iran? A stable Iraq would allow American troop reductions to a level that is acceptable to the American public but leave the US with a strategic partner and regional operating base next door. What does that benefit Iran? Therefore, assuming Iran is going to act in its interests, it will maintain the current course of action. Such a strategy would only provide Iran with the chance to legitimize itself on the world stage with proffers of cooperation for the greater good of regional stability while actually taking direct action against US forces in Iraq. Do we really want to give them that bargaining chip
Instead of just blindly repeating a non true statement- that Iran would benefit form a stable Iraq, why not explain it as I've asked 3 times now??
