And for that matter, why don't you find it illogical that <a href="http://www.carnegieendowment.org/pdf/npp/Pakistan%20and%20North%20Korea.pdf" rel="nofollow">the same Sunni Muslim extremists who installed the Taliban</a> would work with atheist infidels who eat swine and dogs? The answer to all of these questions is found in an old Arab proverb: "I and my brother against my cousin, I and my cousin against the stranger." If Hitler and make a pact with a Marxist (Stalin) and an untermensch (Tojo), then AQ can accept assistance from Iran while it kills more moderate Iraqi shiites.

They hate the Islamic Republic of Iran with a passion and Iran hates them as well. They also are criticial of Shiite Islamist groups for not partaking of the global jihad and for denying training camps/bases to Sunni transnational groups in Lebanon. The Taliban and Iran almost went to war in the 90s. The idea that Iran is giving arms to Al-Qaeda is highly problematic. I, however, have worried for some time that North Korea may sell nuclear/biological technology or arms to an Al-Qaida like group or to a third party who would sell it to them. “or to al Qaeda”

Iran, after all, is a major manufacturer of antitank missiles, including RPG’s, in its own right." i think it's a very plausible theory. or maybe i've seen and enjoyed 'charlie wilson's war' too many times. “….I think it makes sense that Iran might have been using North Korea as a plausibly deniable source for weapons it planned to give to Shiite militias in Iraq, or to al Qaeda.
