It was reported about a month ago on Fox that Iran was shipping weapons weapond into Western Afghanistan, via a couple of A. Pole's wonderful warlords leaders.
There should be hell to pay, but it probably won't happen right away. As I predicted in January, we're going the diplomatic route first. It's doomed to failure, or at best only partial success, because it's the radical mullahs in Iran who weild the most power with the populace...and are on al Qauda's side.
Instead we should be taking the approch of..."bomb them now, ask questions later"
You are missing the key point. The wishful policy which refuses to adjust to the reality is doomed to such developments. Iran (and Russia) for years were fighting the Taleban (which in turn was supported by Saudies and America). Of course Iran CANNOT abandon its allies in its neigborhood. If USA insist on forcing artificially set Karzai puppet governemt it will get various noxious side effects. The key to win is to take the REAL situation into account and build on it.
Iran was the enemy of Al-Queda and SHOULD remain that way. USA did not go into Afghanistan to replace Northern Alliance "worlords" with American Marines and NGO's. It is crazy and harmful.
