"A stable Iraq will be a benefit to the security of the region and the world,"
Loved Ones…GWBush has few days left in Washington…just enough to create more blood shed with our brothers and sisters around the world…

presently Iraq has sought to ease Iranian fears over a proposed US-Iraq security deal, reassuring Tehran that the pact will not be a danger to Iran.

This pledge was made by Nuri al-Maliki, the Iraqi prime minister, during his meetings with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, and other Iranian officials on Sunday.

Al-Maliki said that his government would not allow Iraq to become a launching pad for an attack on Iran.

"A stable Iraq will be a benefit to the security of the region and the world," he told Ahmadinejad in their talks, according to Ahmadinejad's website.

Al-Maliki also appeared to signal that Tehran would not be squeezed out by any agreement, saying Iraq's "development and stability will be provided through more bilateral cooperation" with Iran.

Ahmadinejad, in turn, underlined that Iran had a key role in Iraq's security.

"The responsibility of [Iraq's] neighbors is doubled in this regard," he said, according to the website.

Ahmadinejad hinted at concerns that the security agreement would mean US domination in Iraq.

"Iraq must reach a certain level of stability so that its enemies are not able to impose their influence," he said, without specifically mentioning the deal.

An aide to al-Maliki said he is is offering assurances in the talks that the US presence in his country is no threat to Iran.

But he will also complain about Iran's public campaign against the agreement as interference in Iraq's internal affairs, the aide said.

The Iranian state news agency IRNA said al-Maliki held separate talks on Sunday with Parviz Davoodi, the Iranian vice-president.

During the talks, Davoodi said Iran will always stand by Iraq, and al-Maliki said Iraq hopes for Iranian help in various areas, including "political, cultural, economic and defence".

Iran fiercely opposes the US-Iraqi security agreement, saying it will lead to permanent American bases on its doorstep in Iraq, reflecting Tehran's fears US forces could attack it.

Saeed Laylaz, a political analyst and editor of the Sarmayeh newspaper in Tehran, told Al Jazeera that the US is not ready to discuss a comprehensive security plan for the whole region.

"They want to talk about security only in Iraq," he said.

"They want to ignore the security concerns of Iran."

Last week, Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, a powerful Iranian politician, said the deal would "enslave" Iraqis and vowed it would not be permitted to be passed, and Iran's pro-government press has frequently railed against it.

In another issue affecting ties between Baghdad and Tehran, al-Maliki is like to raise once more the US allegations that Iran is arming, funding and training Shia militia members in Iraq.

Iran has denied the charges, saying it supports Iraq's security and stability.

Loved Ones…will killing others make unconditional love emerge?

Loved Ones…does murdering your neighbors children and infants cause actions of compassion from your neighbors?…

Loved Ones…have you learned any lessons from Iraq?

Loved Ones…do you think American bombs killing around the world will make you and I friends of the rest of this small planet?

At this time I petition for the White Light of the Holy Spirit to surround and enclose all incarnates here at home and over seas …place the unconditional love of our Divine Parents above us…below us…place the White Light in front of us and behind us…I petition for the White Light of the Holy Spirit to be to the right of us and all that is left of us…I petition and ask that in the name of Mother and Father God.

You and all your loved ones are always in my prayers,
