And our role has been positive? Read the whole thing--it just drips with hypocrisy.

U.S. Ambassador Criticizes Iran's Role in Iraq

BAGHDAD, Feb. 20 -- Iran is playing "a negative role" in Iraq by providing weapons, training and other support to militias and insurgent groups that interfere in Iraqi politics, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq said at a news conference on Monday.

"I have said to Iraqis that we do not seek to impose our differences with Iran on them," Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad said. "But we do not want Iranian interference in Iraq."

Khalilzad also bluntly rejected recent Iranian calls for a British withdrawal from the southern Iraqi city of Basra, saying the demands were "uncalled for." The Iranians, he said, were trying to divert attention from a recent crisis over their nuclear program by "getting involved in something that's none of their business."

Lessee...we invade a country thousands of miles away that posed no threat to us, kill tens of thousands of innocents, destroy their infrastructure--then we have the nerve to tell their next-door neighbor that what happens there is none of their business? Unfuckingbelievable.
