I have read that the folks in the streets in Iran are Sunni.  I wonder how this figures?  Also, recognizing that most of the aloha snack bars we have endured in the last few years have been Sunni doesn’t make the Shi’a any better.  The Iran-backed Shi’a are the heavies in Hezbollah and a major cadre in the pro-Assad forces in Syria.

Best to leave all this alone.

Seems like every day, I'm forced to add to the list of people who can just kiss my hairy ass.

The Iranian gov did supply weapons and training to militia groups attacking us in Iraq.  

There were Iranian special forces captured in Iraq also.
