As Foreign Minister Zebari explained to CNN on Sunday, Iraq's leaders know they will have to "live with" Iran next door - whereas Washington's presence in Iraq is temporary. President Talabani appeared to signal his independence from U.S. foreign policy on Sunday when he became the first Iraqi head of state in 30 years to meet his Syrian counterpart in Damascus, only days after President Bush had denounced Syria for enabling terrorism...
