Obama thought to find common ground with Iran on the Afghanistan issue. The United States will be represented at the conference by Secretary of State Clinton. Iran pointedly scoffed at the US efforts and sent its deputy FM.
Obama has no chance to arrive at an understanding with the Iranians on Afghanistan. Iran supports the Taliban to rein in the Afghan Sunni terrorist groups, which conduct cross-border raids—and to bug the Americans. The US, on the other hand, supports the Sunni terrorist groups to bug the ayatollahs.
