Iran, USA and Iraq
Iraq was occupied by a belated and compelled UN resolution in 2004 and now the USA is asking the Iraqi Govt. to sign a security pact, legitimizing a military occupation after 2008 . Demanding over 50 military bases and full control over Iraq's air space, unadulterated immunity for not only the military personnel but also all US citizens running around getting rich building a house or a bridge anywhere in Iraq paid by Iraq's Oil Billions..... The Iraqi/Arab humiliation will reach a peak that is unprecedented in the history of mankind......as if not enough, The American Neocons, demand it to run indefinitely.
What does it all mean for Iran?? having already been surrounded by so many US military bases starting from Western Oman through to Bahrain and Qatar, Saudi Arabian and Kuwait,,, a logistic center in southern Turkey and Azerbaijan... right around to Tajikistan and not to forget Bagram in Afghanistan....The US seems to have realized that any campaign against Iran will result in a massive lose of Military and Naval hardware, since none of the countries mentioned above dare allow themselves to stand up to Iran,,,therefore USA stands alone and at sea,,, a very unfavorable element for starting a war with such a large country by middle east standards.
Iraq on the other hand, regardless of permanent confirmations that this Pact, shall not be a threat to Iran, is by all standards and means "THE" threat that could cause a very long war between Iran and the USA , should the Israeli self oriented policy of pushing the USA into every war it can not fight itself continues. Another reason why a war would be inevitable, should this Pact be signed, is the fact that Iran is selling its Oil in non Dollar currencies, thus making it independent of the US monetary policies.
I hope for the sake of Iran, and Iran alone, That this pact does not come into being, regardless of the costs (the latest US and Israeli saber rattling upon Iran is rooted in Iran's bitter opposition towards this pact, it could even accelerate a few more sanctions ) BUT,,,it is better to have the little fight at the beginning, than have a devastating long war later in 5 years.
