Iran Paid Insurgents to Kill British Soldiers
If I can fault the Bush administration for anything vis a vis Iraq, it has been on two things. 1) They didn't clamp down on Iranian influence early enough. 2) They did not make it clear to the public Iran's role. We're basically fighting a proxy war against Iran like the Soviets were fighting a proxy war against us in Afghanistan.
So the question is, what is anyone going to do about what is essentially an act of war. My guess is that the "stop before I say stop again" type of diplomacy.

Correction: The United States, through the CIA, funded the Afghan Mujahadeen in their fight against the Soviets. The US fought a proxy war against the Soviets.
