Country A is, of course. Country A is Iran. Country B is Saudi Arabia.

Don’t worry. I know that Iran has also engaged in terrorism against the U.S. and that the Saudis have supported America at key times in some areas. The point I’m trying to make, though, is that the hostility between Iran and the U.S. since the overthrow of the shah in 1979 is not organic. By dint of culture, history and geography, we actually have a lot of interests in common with Iran’s people. And I am not the only one to notice that.


Damn! That's been my position exactly. Since I've been in high school and college, I have never understood the friction between Iran and the US. I certainly identify more with them then I do the Saudis. Thanks for posting the article.

Its ironic that this observation comes from Friedman with whom generally I don't agree.
