Yes, Let's Talk!

The Iraqi government should talk to their neighbors, Iran and Syria about helping to stabilize the Iraqi government.  The US should not be talking to Iran and Syria about Iraq's stability.  If Iraq wants the US to attend their meetings with Iran and/or Syria, I'm sure that Iraq would invite the US to attend.

The US should continue to engage the World and Iran in discussions regarding Iran's nuclear programs which does have implications to the security of the US, the EU and many others. At present the EU is taking the lead to discuss Iran's nuclear programs and they are being stonewalled and threatened.

The US should continue to engage the World and Syria in discussions to keep Syria out of the government and affairs of Lebanon.

The US should continue to talk to Iraq and Afghanistan to coordinate the stabilization of those two young governments.

The UN should promote the discussion of world wide issues amongst the whole of the UN membership, including Iran, Syria and the Middle East.  And to discuss Global Terrorism that effects nearly everyone except those who support Global Terrorism.

As a UN member, the US should engage in any and all UN discussion. Now all that has to be done is get the UN to engage in promoting discussion. Seems like the UN has become like the US Congress: lots of finger pointing, lots of talking, very little discussing, and absolutely no consensus building or substantive action.
