Iraq...

The US administration has resisted against the use of a certain term for the war in Iraq which is 'civil war'. Even though the current state of affairs seems like that of a civil war the US-government did not want that word to be used, for one it weakens the US position politically and it implies that the US has no control over Iraq. Several US news outlets have now adopted the use of the term 'civil war', among those are the New York Times and the NBC, this shows a shift in the priorities of the news-media which until now was willing to use the terms the white house supplied.

Further Iran is willing to support peace in Iraq, but the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who is the highest Authority in Iran, stated that peace could only be achieved in Iraq. If the 'occupiers' would leave the land and by doing so handing security matters over to Iraq's government.
Many critics, in the 'western world' have stated that peace would only achievable if we 'the western powers' would leave the middle east alone and let them get things straightened out. That as long as we keep interfering in the Middle Eastern politics and matters, that it would be impossible to achieve peace in the region.
