Frying Pan, meet Fire

News about Iraq.
Opinion about Iran.

This fascinating report from Iraq tells of encouraging splits between Iraqi insurgents and Al-Queda with concomitant stories of bitter feuds and revenge violence. Hopefully, the US can exploit this but it remains to be seen. Call me naive, but if these people had water, electricity and jobs it seems like they would have less time to make mayhem.

The Iran picture is like a big chess game where pieces are hidden, no one knows the next move and Iran's Holocaust-denying leader is "cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs".
