Right now, engagement remains the order of the day as the White House attempts to restart regional peace talks and holds open the possibility of a diplomatic solution to Iran's nuclear program. But should U.S.-Iranian tensions escalate, the region's powers will no doubt once again arm and fund willing proxies in Iraq to fight...
