Iranian power in the new Middle East

Students who are reading Anthony Shadid's book for HIST 2805 may be interested in what he has to say in the New York Times about how the Iraq war has led to a surge (gotta watch that word) in Iranian power.

Update: See this Guardian (UK) article by an Iranian expatriate, Ali Ansari, on the weakness of Iran's president. An interesting contrast to Shadid's.
