America telling Iran to stay out of Iraq's business and then proceeding to put a large naval presence in the Persian Gulf would be like China telling the U.S. to stay out of Mexico's business and then moving a large Chinese naval fleet into the Gulf of Mexico. What right do we have to do that?

Until Iran does something that the Iraqi government complains about, we have no business telling them to stay out of Iraq's affairs.

And as for the other issue, the nuclear program, as has been discussed before, the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty gives all non-nuclear states the right to develop nuclear energy. So far I have not seen any hard evidence that they are doing anything other than that. I have only heard baseless allegations. When someone presents some evidence that they are violating this international treaty, then I will agree that action should be taken (the same sort of action that should be taken against North Korea, Israel, India and Pakistan -- the other countries who have violated this treaty).

Enough with the bias discussion. Similar situations should be treated similarly. What is good for one country, is good for all countries in the same situation. Stop with the double standard!!

you full of it......Iran is actually suplying with weapons to the insurgents not just small arms weapons but also weapons that penetrates the armor vehicles to kill US SOLDIERS.
