Same in iraq where they pull boys out of school buses and kill them for sectarian reasons. We are dealing with arabs and their track record regardless of country has not been good. Hopefully the persians can be talked to--they are not arabs and i am amazed as to how many folks dont know this. Iran is part of indo-europe and wants to play a role, attain wealth etc. We need to figure a way to get them back on track internationally. Dont have the answer except that they are not arabs and there may be a compromise.
