Right now, there are massive protests in the streets of Tehran, calling the latest election victory of Hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a fraud.

America has a long, complex history with Iran. Did you know the CIA overthrew the democratically elected president of Iran in the 1950s? Did you know that after Sept 11th, Iranians in Tehran marched in the streets chanting "Death to Terrorists"? Did you know that Iran assisted the US Invasion of Afghanistan?

Iran is an ancient, complex culture. In many way, culturally the West has more in common with Shia Iran than we do with Sunni Saudi Arabia. Remember, al Qaeda is a Sunni group, and they consider the Shia to be heretics.

They Iranian theocracy is no peach, but
A: They are rational and survival-oriented in a way that Sunni terrorists are not.
B: Iran has a massively YOUNG population who are on the 'net. They are not fanatic America haters.
