Can you believe that Iran was planning to interfere in Iraqi affairs? I mean, who does that? Which evil force does that?

"“The most sobering surprise of the week was probably the extent of direct Iranian involvement in Iraqi political intrigue,” General Petraeus wrote in an April 2008 letter to Mr. Gates."  What an insult and what an offense. Iran, Iraq's neighbor, intended to interfere in Iraqi internal affairs knowing that the US, which was merely 10,000 miles away from Iraq, was running the show? How sinister really.
