Peace Signs?

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iran and the United States will meet shortly to discuss security in Iraq, to follow up a landmark meeting held in May, Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari said on Tuesday.

Washington accuses Shi'ite Iran of fomenting sectarian violence in Iraq. Iran denies backing the anti-U.S. insurgency and blames the U.S.-led invasion in 2003 for the bloodshed between Iraq's majority Shi'ite and minority Sunni Arabs.

In a sign that Iraq's deeply divided politicians might be bridging some of their many differences, the bloc of the anti-American Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr said it had ended a boycott of parliament with immediate effect.

"Starting from today, we have ended our suspension in parliament. We are back," said Nassar al-Rubaei, spokesman for the bloc in parliament.

---- Of course Iran is fomenting violence in Iraq – what better way to impress upon the Anglos they will not totally own and operate the region? In turn, Anglos call for sanctions and threaten more war by sending out the appropriate respected journalist, pol, expert former something or other toady who periodically warn us the US plans further aggression.

Iraqis were living together before the war and will do so again. The current Iraq parliament is more representative than the US congress. We have 1 Black senator, but we do allow Blacks in the lower House at a whopping representative 9 percent. Last I read Iraq's 275 seats were 128 Shia, 53 Kurds, 55 Sunni, 25 to a secular Shiite group, and 14 to smaller parties.

I don't care where you read it, heard it, saw it for those shilling that the US is backing death squads in Iraq all I can say is 'wrong'. Death squads in Central America was Anglo political buddies aiding the Salvadoran angloligarchy to squash a peasant rebellion. Iraq is global oil; there are no friends – just contracts and deals. US supporting death squads in Iraq would be counterproductive to business. These "death squads" are Iraqi thugs seeking personal retaliation.

There are those sounding the alarm that Israel will attack Iran. Wrong again, unless Israel has a death wish (although possibly Israel is one big suicidal bomb the Christo-Anglos are yearning to detonate).

Israel is the Anglos little Chihuahua dog in the ME, yapping furiously and incessantly and scaring no one but pissing everyone off. Israel is a theme park to pilgrims who buy holy trips from US Jew Ticketmasters and Christian Wingnuts. Israel is a trailer court where wealthy US Jews send poor cousins who are good plantation managers. And it's all profitably and gloriously called the right to return. (Too lucrative a scam to detonate.)

Within a year or so the war should be "over" – mission accomplished sort of. The bulk of US troops will head home, the 150,000+ private contractors will of course remain indefinitely to protect oil – on your dime. Afghaninam will still drain the coffers and profit defense contractors for years to come.

The questions are – will "peace" come before the 2008 election or after? Which party gets to look like peacemakers? Will there be a lot of chapped asses if the GOP becomes the party of peace?
