Iraqi Government Proves it Again!

So the Iraqi Government, having provided the Iraqis with all the necessities of everyday life on top of security never before heard of in the world and the Iraqis feel so lucky that they finally got a break from years and years of suffering and pain and overcoming insurmountable harsh living conditions without hope has finally paid off, so the patriotic Iraqi government, having done all this and more (the list is too long that it may take hundreds of blogs to cover that!!!), have decided to start paying attention to the very few things that need to be taken care of and one of this tiny things is the issue of the presence of Mujahidee Khalq, the Iranian opposition group in Iraq. Today, they have decided to practically seize their operation in Iraq and I won't be surprised if they hand them over to our "friends and neighbors" Iran.

Iran has since 2003, has left no stone unturned in pursuing harm to Iraq and Iraqis and played every dirty trick in the books to do so and what did our leaders in the government do? they return/reward that by kicking out one of the very few cards that they can almost readily use against Iran (that is if they want to use them in the first place which obviously is not the case!). This is politics 101, "IF" you want Iran to stop interfering in Iraq, start interfering in Iran by supporting the likes of Mujahidee Khalq and others and then you have a couple of cards that you can show on the negotiations table, otherwise, you have nothing to negotiate with. Obviously, that is not the intention of the Iraqi government here!!!!!

One last thing that I would like to remind the government and Mr Al Hakeem of is that during Saddam's era, many of the current militias in power including like Badr Brigades, were considered terrorist in the eyes of Saddam but Iran did not kick them out of Iran, on the contrary, Iran supported, trained and financed Al Badr brigade sparing it for a rainy day and the day came in 2003. Now we see Badr Brigades is well positioned in the Iraqi army, the interior ministry and many other sensitive position. Why not do what Iran did, I'm sure we Iraqis will benefit from Mujahidee Khalq some time in the future rather than kicking them out considering that these folks are un-armed?
