P.S. 10/8/19: The current anti-IRI protests in Iraq, is adding a new dimension to the situation discussed below, and may hopefully end up in formation of real Western-style secular democratic political parties among the Arabs of Iraq, whether Shiite, Sunni or not-religious, something that has been missing in Iraq for a long time. In contrast, regions mostly populated by the Kurds, have a long history of secular parties that have been a lot more democratic than the Ba'ath Party of Arab regions of Iraq. SG

After the Killing
Fields of Cambodia, US united with Vietnamese Communist government
to get rid of Khmer Rouge. Later US and Cambodia had to find a way
to work with Vietnam and it was and still is a love-hate
relationship. For Iraq, not only to overthrow Saddam Hussein, but
also after the take-over of Mosul by ISIS, US united with
Islamic Regime of Iran (IRI) to get rid of ISIS. This time, US and Iraq
had to find a way to work with IRI and it was and still is a
love-hate relationship. Of course there is a huge difference between
Communist Vietnam and
Iran's
IslamicKKK. Vietnamese Communists understand diplomatic
relations whereas IRI started its "diplomacy" as a state, with
hostage-taking at the US Embassy in Tehran shortly after winning power in 1979
and still has not apologized for that savagery and years later in
another "diplomatic" attempt, in negotiations with the Kurdish leaders, openly killed negotiators
like Ghasemlou and Sharafkandi even in Europe and never apologized
for that either. The latest news,
that
hashd-al-shaabi
is active near Iraq's border with Saudi, claiming to
fight ISIS, and also US forces are returning to Saudi Arabia.
Hoping for a democratic and secular futurist republic in Iran,
