Surprise only in that Iran is directly involved

The fact that Iran may be involved is a surprise to me, although the idea that Iraq is swinging back to hostility toward the United States and the West was expected. (Nowhere near long enough of a 'occupation' to establish the culture of democracy)

We can expect that once Iraq has settled down, they will become much more hostile to us. Maybe even as hostile as Iran.
