Wrong religion; your thinking of the Sunni with the towel on his head, the long scraggly now dyed beard, and so tall no US soldier would miss him if Bush sent them to where the terrorists are instead of where the oil is.

Iran is predominately Shia, but there are three Jews in Parliaments, required by the way, by the Constitution. That would be like the US constitution requiring that three native Americas have seats in Congress.

It is a bit funny that Bush is working to pump up his poll numbers back in Iran; his promises on the domestic front and his domestic initiatives have been as bad as Bush's. It's interesting that like Bush, he has basically trippled the price of gasoline in Iran just like Bush did in the US.

Tho actually, he's using the market to drastically reduce gasoline consumption; Iran has lots of natural gas they can't sell because of no pipelines, so he's promoting switching cars to burning natgas, like some do in the US. The difference is they actually have a surplus f natgas.
