Excuse me? I was referring to Iran cutting deals with the US. Only 6 
months ago I was stressing the underlying commonality of interest 
between the US and Iran over defeating the Iraqi insurgency. It appears 
that I was right. No matter how much the US hates the Iranian 
government, it hates the Iraqi insurgency more. If it could reach out to 
the mullahs in 1986 in an arms deal for the contras, why could not such 
a deal be worked out today? As Samir Amin pointed out, political Islam 
does not see things in class terms.
