As Iraq erupts into a bloody civil war between Shia and Sunni Muslims the US Secretary of State, John Kerry, stated that he would not rule out working with Iran to help resolve the conflict.

How ironic, that after the US-led invasion of Iraq and subsequent removal of dictator, Sadam Hussein (who at least held the country together), the USA is even considering working with its former sworn enemy and member of the so-called “Axis of Evil”.

What a mess and what a tragedy for the people of Iraq, the majority of whom, I’m sure, want nothing more than to be left alone and allowed to live in peace.
