Another interesting <$NoAd$>development.

There's no way to link to articles in the New York Sun. But an article yesterday by the Sun's Eli Lake noted the following ...

The person who this month is occupying the rotating presidency of the Iraqi Governing Council, Jalal Talabani, led an 18-person delegation to Iran last week, where he signed a raft of agreements with the government there on issues ranging from trade to counter terrorism. Iran regularly tops the State Department's list of state sponsors of terrorism.

The architects of the war had hoped that a blossoming, democratic Iraq would quicken the pace of opposition to Iran's ruling mullahs. Now, however, the US and the Governing Council appear to be trying to stabilize Iraq with Tehran's assistance.
