Anti-War Zealotry Becomes Foreign Policy Malfeasance

This represents a complete failure on our part:

Iraq: Iran Provides Rebuilding Assistance
August 12, 2010
The Iraqi Ministry of Reconstruction and Housing signed a memorandum of understanding with Iran’s new ambassador to Baghdad pledging support for rebuilding Iraq, AKnews reported on Aug. 12. Iran will assist Iraq in building roads, bridges and housing complexes and will encourage its companies to invest in Iraq, minister Bayan Diayi said. Iran will also hold advanced training courses for Iraqi engineers and experts. He said trade and economic ties will be strengthened and memorandums of understanding were signed with several major Iranian companies.

Didn't like the war? Great. Bully for you. But it's over now and Iraq is an emergent democracy and a vital country in a volatile part of the world. The United States of America ought to be their best damn friend in the world. Short of that, they'll just meld on in with the other sh*t shows in the region and become part of the typical scenery. Anti-war zealotry has become foreign policy malfeasance.
