Blaming Iraq’s Trade With Iran As the Failure of Iranian Economic Sanctions Is Laughable
In the summer of 2012 we noted a very interesting set of articles appear all over the media explaining how Iraq was undermining the economic sanctions on Iran. Of course, we must understand that Iran borders Iraq, and there isn’t much trade going on with Syria due to the chaos there with the potential fall of the Assad regime.

He said that it was too bad that humans couldn’t all get together in a common cause, perhaps defending against an alien invasion, as it would bring all nations together. That is an interesting thought, and there is a lot of truth to that. To build a team, sometimes it pays to have a common enemy.
