| Iran ready to help Afghanistan create strong army | |
| 2011-12-14 | |
Iran is ready to help Afghanistan to create a strong army, Iranian Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi said today at the meeting with Afghan deputy FM Mohammad Umayum Fuzi, IRNA reported.
In his turn, Fuzi noted that Afghanistan "is interested in developing its relations with Iran". The Iran-Afganistan Joint Military Commission was first created on the initiative of Iranian and Afghan Defense ministries this summer in Kabul. The sides also signed an agreement in order for comission to start its work. Comission tends to develop perspectives of military cooperation between Afganistan and Iran. | |

| #9 Iran may be interested in protecting the Shia population of Afghanistan. The Taliban massacred thousands (maybe tens of thousands) of Shia during their ascendancy. Of course the Taliban massacred thousands of Sunni too. |

| #8 They know the US President has absolutely no testicles and will try to fill in where he leaves a vacuum. I know I would. |

| #7 Don't you need a strong army yourself to be able to show others how it's done, or does this work on the same premise as an academic course on business studies? |
