| Iran is not engaged with Iraq in any way other than as a friendly state, as I am sure they trade a lot and have good relations. But the prospect of owning more resources could result in Iran taking the offensive to Iraq, in her vulnerable situation. I am sure all the Middle Eastern states have that on their mind as the war drags on, but as soon as they invaded Iraq they would have the States coming back to resecure their ties with Iraq, as they have done so already, for economic reasons and power gain. They didn't fight this war for nothing, and would see to it that nobody took over Iraq and ruined their new buddies prosperity. It is funny how America wants to get involved in all matters around the world, I think it is the gung ho attitude of the president in any of these matters that leads to them making it into a Rambo movie and them seeing themselves as the good guys at war with the bad guys, rather naive if you ask me. People die in wars, and people are freed too, but isn't life under a dictator better than a lot of death and poverty in a space of time? There isn't more money for the people, so the level of living is going to be the same, and that is what really matters to the people, so why topple the government? For political reasons, for better relations, for a launch pad to the middle east.
Iran might look over at the country the same way, and seek to control it too, so Iraq is in a tight spot. I am sure none of the states want a lanch pad for the US right near them, so they may all decide to wage war on Iraq and cut her up for their own pleasure, or restore her to normal, depends what the higher powers decide to do, but I am sure they would like a link to the States through Iraq, so may leave her alone, as politicians can realise regional ties with Iraq, and Iraq will realise poltical ties with America, so maybe this will be the end of strife in the region?
