Mubaraks comments don't suprise me.......the Sunni side of the middle east are afraid of just what was stated. If that were the case though, wouldn't have Sistani backed Sadr's actions?

Now for the photo op......you didn't post what was under the photo:
Fancy meeting you here! On his first official visit to Tehran, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki is greeted by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

On a diplomatic trip isn't it considered normal to be seen shaking hands with the other countries leader? They have a million man army not to mention the 11 million in the Basij. It would be a good idea to try to create diplomatic ties.

Actually Mobaraks comments are nice to see. It means that the Sunni region will realize that a stable Iraq means less of a chance for an Iran/Iraq Shiite allience.

I still hold that if the Shiite hit the fan, the Sunni's would call on the Militay Industrial Complex for assistance.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:
