Mixed Signs

At the May meeting between Iran and the U.S., Iran proposed the establishment of a joint committee on security in Iraq. The committee would consist of representatives from Iran, Iraq and the U.S. Yesterday we agreed to the establishment of the committee. Nothing may come of it but it is a step in the right direction. And in another hopeful sign the Arab League is sending a delegation to Israel to propose a Mid-East peace plan.

But don't get carried away. The largest Sunni Arab bloc has decided to suspend its membership in the Iraqi parliament and may withdraw altogether. And former ambassador, Peter Galbraith, discusses his view of the current situation in Iraq. Once more, I got the sense that the division of Iraq into three separate entities is the way to go.
