Questions and Answers are cited below as

"Q" and "A"

On the road to world solutions?

1. Q: Why do we annex Robert Sheer's L.A. Times 7/19/05 commentary, - "Iraq's dangerous new friend"?

A: Because that "new friend" turns out to be Iran.

2. Q: Is Iraq threatened by "terrorist insurgency"?

A: Yes. But more than that, - the democratic changes in Iraq have "fueled fierce Sunni resentment" with huge mortality results described by theocrat Sistani of Iraq, as "genocidal war."

3. Q: What factors are now common to both Iraq and Iran?

A: In both, pro-democracy forces are in conflict with the religious theocrats.

4. Q: Are both Iraq and Iran big oil and gas producers?

A: Yes.

5. Q: Do both Iraq and Iran face similar phenomena viz "religious thugs"?

A: Religious thugs are in "de facto control" of parts of Iraq and Iran.

In both instances, human rights such as those of women are at great risk.

6. Q: With Iran claiming the nuclear weapon, - and mixed racial and religious forces desperate for support of their causes, " . . . is it surprising to find the Iraqi government looking for help from powerful Iran"?

A: No, but it certainly poses a problem for the White House which now finds itself putting American soldiers' lives on the line every day to prop up an active ally [Iran] of the country that we claim, [i.e. Iraq] and both with plausibility, fund anti-Israeli and other terror groups.

7. Q: Is an appropriate comment that "somewhere a guy named Osama bin Laden must be laughing?" (Robert Sheer, L.A. Times)
