Update for Wednesday, May 9, 2108
Today in Afghanistan Perhaps a bit tangential to Iraq, but — well, not really. Dominic Tierney discusses the ways in which U.S. actions since 9/11 have been a boon to Iran. In addition to eliminating Iran’s mortal enemy Saddam Hussein and installing an Iranian puppet regime in Iraq; and toppling the Taliban government in Afghanistan which was also hostile to Iran (Iran has now switched sides in Afghanistan); the decision to pull out of the JCPOA — the nuclear deal with Iran — will only embolden Iran’s hard liners, isolate the U.S. from its allies, and potentially allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon. Sad!
Various experts discuss the upcoming parliamentary elections in Iraq. While they don’t expect major changes, there is some hope of less sectarian polarization. We shall see.
