The truth is iran nd india callabarate not only in afghanistan but india made nd funded chabahar port in iran 2 counterweight gwadar port ontop of tht iran nd india r jointly destablising pakistan from afghanistan through their rented agents uzbek nd tajik terrorists nd fassaadis tht crossover from afghanistan into pakistan nd carryout attacks in pakistan by disguising as ttp. Ontop of tht iran has given india a consulate in zahidan in iranian balochistan which borders pakistan these iranians r also destablising pakistan nd pakistans balochistan hand in hand with india all the activities nd sabotage tht is done in pakistans balochistan r done by iranians nd indians hiding in iran nd it was iran which created bla so this is the true face of iran.
Iran has undercover dealings with america nd israel iran was part of the american game in iraq nd afghanistan nd now recently in lybia iran america nd israel callabarated together nd plotted against lybia nd qaddafi nd now in syria iranian double agents mko r fighting in syria against syrian government iranian made peshmerga nd pkk r openly fighting against the syrian government the so called nusra front r iranian agents nd hve links with iran iran created peshmerga nd pkk 2 break iraq nd destablise turkey iran is the biggest enemy of iraq turkey nd syria iran wants 2 break away kurdish areas of iraq turkey nd syria. Iran is xploding bombs in iraq nd killing iraqis. Iran is destablising almost all islamic countries iraq turkey syria bahrain lybia yemen pakistan nd now egypt for past 35 years america has been threatning iran but hve not attacked it yet but instead attacked iraq afghanistan lybia nd now in syria working with callabaration of iran nd now iran destablising egypt with britishers now this shows tht iran is nothing but a proxy of america nd israel in the region 2 destablise islamic countries iran is a proxy of america nd israel in the region 2 destablise islamic countries.

PIPES: Obamas foreign fiasco
American influence abroad shrinks daily
8/21/2013
Its a privilege to be an American who works on foreign policy, as I have done since the late 1970s, participating in a small way in the grand project of finding my countrys place in the world. Now, though, under Barack Obama, decisions made in Washington have dramatically shrunk in importance. Its unsettling and dismaying and no longer a privilege.
Whether during the structured Cold War or the chaotic two decades that followed, Americas economic size, technological edge, military prowess and basic decency meant that even in its inactivity, the U.S. government counted as much or more in world developments than any other state. Sniffles in Washington translated into influenza elsewhere.
Weak and largely indifferent presidents such as Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton mattered despite themselves; for example, in the Iranian revolution of 1978-79 or the Arab-Israeli conflict in the 1990s. Strong and active presidents such as Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush had greater impact yet, speeding up the Soviet collapse or invading Afghanistan and Iraq.
But now with President Obama, the United States has slid into shocking irrelevance in the Middle East, the worlds most turbulent region. Inconstancy, incompetence and inaction have rendered the Obama administration impotent. In the foreign-policy arena, Mr. Obama acts as though he would rather be the prime minister of Belgium, a small country that usually copies the decisions of its larger neighbors when casting votes at the United Nations or preening morally about distant troubles. Belgians naturally lead from behind, to use the famed phrase emanating from the Obama White House.
Qatar with a national population of 225,000 has an arguably greater impact on current events than the United States with a population of 314 million. Note how Mr. Obama these days takes a back seat to the emirs of Doha: They take the lead supplying arms to the Libyan rebels; he follows. They actively help the rebels in Syria; he dithers. They provide billions to the new leadership in Egypt, he stumbles over himself. They unreservedly back Hamas in Gaza; he pursues delusions of an Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Toward this end, the U.S. secretary of state made six trips in four months to Israel and the Palestinian territories in pursuit of a diplomatic initiative that almost no one thinks will end the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Meanwhile, the U.S. secretary of defense called Egyptian leader Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi 17 times in conversations lasting 60 to 90 minutes, yet failed in his pleas that Gen. el-Sissi desist from using force against the Muslim Brotherhood. More striking yet, Gen. el-Sissi apparently refused to take a phone call from Mr. Obama. The $1.3 billion in annual U.S. aid to Egypt suddenly looks paltry in comparison to the $12 billion from three Persian Gulf countries, with promises to make up for any Western cuts in aid. Both sides in Egypts deep political divide accuse Mr. Obama of favoring the other and execrate his name. As dozens of Coptic churches burned, he played six rounds of golf. Ironically, Egypt is where, four long years ago, Mr. Obama delivered a major speech repudiating Mr. Bushs policies with seeming triumph.
Mr. Obamas ambitions lie elsewhere in augmenting the role of government within the United States, as epitomized by Obamacare. Accordingly, he treats foreign policy as an afterthought, an unwelcome burden, and something to dispatch before returning to juicier matters. He oversees withdrawals from Iraq and Afghanistan with little concern for what follows. His unique foreign-policy accomplishment, trumpeted ad nauseam, was the execution of Osama bin Laden.
So far, the price to American interests for Mr. Obamas ineptitude has not been high. But that could change quickly. Most worrisome, Iran could soon achieve nuclear breakout and start to throw its newfound weight around, if not to deploy its brand-new weapons. The new regime in Egypt could revert to its earlier anti-Americanism and anti-Zionism; already, important elements in Egypt are calling for rejection of U.S. aid and termination of the peace treaty with Israel.
As an American who sees his country as a force for good, these developments are painful and scary. The world needs an active, thoughtful and assertive United States. The historian Walter A. McDougall rightly states that [t]he creation of the United States of America is the central event of the past four hundred years, and its civilization perturbs the trajectories of all other civilizations just by existing. Well, not so much perturbation these days. May this dismal era be brief in duration.
