Bush certainly has no grasp on the politics, thats for sure. Read the article McGrath linked.

Bush "... identified Iran and Syria as America's main enemies in Iraq though the four-year-old guerrilla war against US-led forces is being conducted by the strongly anti-Iranian Sunni-Arab community. Mr Jafari himself later complained about US allegations. "So far has there been a single Iranian among suicide bombers in the war-battered country?" he asked. "Almost all who involved in the suicide attacks are from Arab countries."

Its the Sunni-Arabs who are the insurgents in Iraq. Why back the Sunni-Arabs in Iran? He's trying to play two ends against the middle and some people are buying Bushs' attempt to blame Iran. For what? They are not the aggressors. Why would anyone believe anything Bush has to say about Iran or anyone else?

Why do you think it is the Iranians who are funding the terrorists, Peace? What proof do you have? How many terrorists or suicide bombers are Iranian? If you look closely, its probably the Arabs or the Americans who have something to gain, not the Iranians. If you're such an authority on the Middle East, you should learn to differentiate between Arabs and Persians and stop blaming Iran for the problems in the Middle East. Learn to know your enemy.

Why should the Iraqis have to negotiate the release of Iranians kidnapped by the U.S. on their soil? I thought Iraq governed their own country. If Iraq wants them released, that should be the end of it. Let them go.

And get this - If it weren't for the Kurds, we wouldn't know anything about the abductions. Even the kurds like the Iranians more than Americans.

So - O.K., one Iranian has been released. Lets at least see the other four on t.v. so that we know they are not being tortured by the U.S.
