You may or may not particularly remember this, Nadine, but the US did back Sadam and Iraq in a rather long and dirty war against Iran. A war that Iraq started, and in which Iraq used gas attacks and various other things generally held to be not up to Western standards. A war in which the US sank Iranian ships and shot down an Iranian civilian jet. It might be expecting a little too much for Iran to suddenly decide that their interests and our interests are exactly congruent, and that they should therefore fully support whatever regime the US sets up in Afghanistan. Is the current AIPAC line that the US should be looking for a war with Iran, as well as one with Iraq and Saudi Arabia and Syria and who knows who else?
