US and Iraq...

Candolane Rice has sided with Bush once more, Bush the President of the US has now purposed to sent another 21500 troops into Iraq. This proposal drew instantly fire from both sides of the Congress, the Democrats as well as the Republicans have opposed this.
While the President of the US is proposing to sent more troops into Iraq another controversy began in Iraq, the raiding of a Building which the Iranian government states to have been the Iranian consulate was raided by US troops. In the process several computers, files and four staff members were taken by the US troops into custody. The Iranian government appears to have sent a letter to the Iraqi Foreign Minister in which they demand the immediate release of the prisoners.
This development also seems to be the first sign of an even more direct and aggressive strategy. Which clearly does not take international relations into considerations, or only to a limited extend.
