I wouldn't worry about Shi'ites lining up to shake hands across the Iran/Iraq border.

theres also too much of a gap between the persians and the arabs. be they both shiites, they still arent going to be best buddies.

Granted, but after 30 years of Saddam and the Ayhatollahs (sp?), I belive both have had enough of the dream of a world-bestriding,Pan-Islamic Caliphate.

The Kurds are the wild card.
