And the IEDs in Iraq with components showing they were assembled by Iran?
The difference is, Saudi Arabia is a bunch of rich princes at the top, trying to hold in check a low-skill populace by buying them off with oil money; and IIRC, with several cities very important to Islam in their territory, which confers on them legitimacy.
They are trying to hold off militant Islam sects ("Wahabbi"-ism) from toppling them from power, by funding missionary efforts overseas. But it is not official government policy; and, the House of Saud remembers we saved them from Saddam Hussein.
Iran is likewise feeding militant Islamic sects, but officially, as government policy; and then there's the whole Sunni vs. Shia thing, which apparently sets Iran and the Saudis against each other, as long as there's nobody else more important to kill, like Jews, Christians, or Westerners.
I think Iran in its own way is trying to become the seat of new Caliphate; as is Turkey in its own way.
Yep and when the NORKS go to far and the glass factory set up on their southern border makes glass.....
The crap is over.
