But what about Muslim Unity, brotherhood, and stuff?
About Team Fanatic, I think if there are any fanatics anywhere it’s Saudis themselves. Not a single Iranian has ever been found involved in any terrorism activity anywhere in the world, but we know where the 9/11 attackers came from. This is just one example.
Also keep in mind that rhetoric aside, Iran has never done a single act of fanaticism. This is recognized even by Israelis.

So how is it partly justified?

What about the Saudis give us free oil because we are Muslim brothers? This is a cutthroat world, you gotta look out for yourself, not for others.

I agree with you 1000% that Saudis are the most fanatic. In fact, there aren’t even that many restrictions in Iran, like on women and stuff as there are in Saudi Arabia. Iran is pretty liberal compared to the Saudis. But, there is no doubt that there current leadership is a group of raving fanatics. It will be much better for everybody, I think if the more liberal Mousavi came into power…

I say it’s partly justified because everyone, except Pak is thinking about furthering their own goals. With India already on our doorstep, I’d rather not have the Iranians become strong too. Maintain the status quo. No need for more nuclear powers. You gotta look at it like this. Pakistan already has nuclear tech. Now it’s in Pakistan’s interests not to let other nations come on the same level. As I said, cutthroat competition.
