David Ignatius warns

So David Ignatius said: "When pressed about what his country would look like in five years, absent American help, he answered bluntly: "Iraq will be a colony of Iran."" Notice that his source, this Muhammad Shahwani, was a key bloody henchman of Saddam Husayn's mukhabarat apparatus and is responsible for the crimes of that regime. But what is Ignatius' point here? That the US should colonize Iraq because it may be colonized by Iran. So the orphans of the American occupation in Iraq have a new message now: please America. Colonize us because Iran may colonize us. Also, who is more responsible than the US for bringing the Iranian factor into Iraqi politics?
