I asked you a general fp question about iran. I am not a fan of saudi arabia. If you want me to answer you, you should answer me. My quesion was geopolitical one about iran fp and whether it had shifted to the mideast post rev and post war with iraq. It had little to do with SA unless you consider SA to be a threat to iran. is fp means foreign policy than you should type FP iran or Iran saudi arabia or Saudi Arabia iraq or Iraq mideast or Mideast quesion or question rev or revolution

IF Iran were to: ...be an extremist Islamic state ...fund all the Salafies in the world ...be an absolute totalitarian monarchy ...fund and arm all the insurgents/terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan ...and its nationals were to fund anti-US terror networks and fly airplanes into WTC...and ...etc...etc. THEN the US government would willingly support the Iranian government so long as Iran would tow the US line on the oil and currency markets and would buy a ton of useless weapons from the US. BUT if Iran does not do the latter and shows some independence, then it doesn't matter what else it does or does not do. The regime will not be acceptable to the US. If you disagree, just try and explain away the US-Saudi relations. ST PS It is a pity that you are so unwilling to educate yourself and think independently and need to have it spelled out.
