>I've heard that the border with Iran is one of Iraq's most secure since Iran doesn't want a spill over of insurgents. The Shia in Iraq, though sharing a sect of Islam with Iran are highly suspicious of them. I think it was on Charlie Rose... there was some intelligence specialist that said that Iran has the power to serious derail the situation in Iraq if it wanted to participate in the insurgency. I will try to find a reference.
And yet, I hear all the time that Iran is helping out some of the more extremist Shia factions over there.
A united Iraq would be a big threat to them, as well as a base of operations for a US strike if the Iranians keep moving forward with their bomb-building. Not advocating, just saying.
