Both the US and the Iranian regime can go to hell
 

Ibrahim Alloush

As Iranian officials emphasized more than once, the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan wouldn't have been possible without active covert and overt Iranian regime support.

In fact, Iranian-backed sectarian militias in Iraq did not only play the same role the so-called "Northern Alliance" played in Afghanistan (also partially Iranian-backed), in terms of field cooperation with occupation troops, these criminal gangs have been frantically engaged in the disembowelment of Iraq and its
fragmentation. As is well documented, these rapists, murders, and thugs, such as one may find within the ranks of Al Mahdi's Army or the Higher Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq, have been feverishly promoting sectarian cleansing and conflict.

Thus, far from being a mere difference of opinion, our differences with Iran have to do with two specific issues:

1) the vindictive Iranian strategy to destroy and break up Iraq, and
2) the Iranian strategy to extend regional influence over the Arab Homeland.

Last but not least, of course, comes the Iranian active cooperation with US and British invaders for several years now in Iraq, without which the occupation would have been deprived of an important element of political, security, and military strength.

So, the fact that the thieves are having an argument over the spoils does not make one of the thieves a freedom fighter.

In short, if Iran won this argument with the US, we won't be as Arabs any better off than if the US won this argument over the spoils with Iran.

Hence, this is not a struggle over principles, over liberation and Islamic or Third World unity. This is no different than the conflict between an aspiring German imperialism in WWI or WWII and an incumbent British imperialism.

This is NOT our fight.

Basically both parties in this conflict can go to hell as far as the liberation of our people is concerned if we agree that's what we should be concerned about first and foremost.

Otherwise, in the interest of consistency at least, it behooves all who believe that the Arab people should express solidarity with Iran at this point to demand that Iran cease its criminal and atrocious policies against the Arab people in Iraq.

Again, we really don't owe Iran anything at this point. But those who do should at least make an attempt to remind Iran of what it owes us in Iraq.
