The biggest problem with Iran is the "Twelvers" who run the show. Unfortunately when the people stood up and tried to remove them a few years ago, our "president" wouldn't even go so far as to offer a few words of encouragement. In contrast, when radicals in Egypt rose up, Obama gave a speech directly to them via multiscreen jumbotrons in Tahrir Square in Cairo.



The Shiites aren't the rabid expansionists that the Sunni are and without the apocalyptic twelvers in power I don't think they would be near the problem they are today.

The funding of Hezbollah partly occurs through donations. Lebanese Shias often make zakat contributions directly after prayers, leaving change in the two-handed Hezbollah collection tins. Also Hezbollah receives financial and political assistance, as well as weapons and training, from the Islamic Republic of Iran.[1][2][3] The US estimates that Iran was giving Hezbollah about $60–$100 million per year in financial assistance but that assistance declined as other funding was secured, primarily from South America.[4][5] Some estimates of Iran's aid are as high as $200-million annually.

Iran funded Chavez' campaign in Venezuela. Chavez went on to turn Venezuela into the biggest narco trafficking country in the world. In the 1990's a military delegations went to the Clinton White House with proof. Radical Islamists are all over this hemisphere "doing business". Just as with FARC, who also hid behind the Bolivarian Revolution, it is really just about the Benjamins. The terrorists are all involved in the $Trillion drug trafficking business. Our world governments are putting on a show for the peasants. Despite pretense to the contrary, they have the same deceptive talking points. I simply don't know what is going on anymore. Rockefeller and the shadow governments have way too much power and control. I see too few conservatives willing to point fingers at the corruption and Wall Street banks that gave us Obama.

I don’t think it is as simple as Sunni and Shiites.

Iran is exporting their version Radical Islam all over the world. It seems Saudia Arabia and UAE are threatened.
