Iran is a 'representative' homeland for the Shia, however, the true homeland for them is in southern Iraq. The Arab community of the Middle East is coming to terms with some of this reality by refusing to recognize 'the enemy' as the entire country of Iran, nor any of it's entities.
Iran should not be allowed to have nuclear weapons, but, neither should any other country including India and Pakistan under the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Currently, the only country recognizing the brevity of that treaty is Putin's Russia, which is attempting to create a voluntary network of those that desire peaceful use of nuclear technology through the sale of nuclear fuel rods for any reactor in operation today anywhere in the world. That initiative is a generosity of a peaceful intent and not necessarily one of profit either.

The hopes of the Shia.

The Imam who will create a world state will make the ruling nations pay for their crimes against society. He will bring succor to humanity. He will take out the hidden wealth from the breast of the earth and will distribute it equitably amongst the needy deserving. He will teach you simple living and high thinking. He will make you understand that virtue is a state of character which is always a mean between the two extremes, and which is based upon equity and justice. He will revive the teaching of the Holy Qur'an and the traditions of the Holy Prophet after the world has ignored them as dead letters....
...Among the most commonly heard cries for more are the calls for more Iraqi troops to replace overstrained American combat forces; or more American advisers to insure the capability and growth of Iraqi combat units; or more American troops assigned to Baghdad to win back the streets of the Iraqi capital; or more marines in al-Anbar Province to quell the rising tide of violence in that heartland of the Sunni insurgency; or more Congressional oversight to ensure that the administration is following a constructive course in the Middle East.
Even the negative proposals being raised rest on demands for more. Demands that the U.S. set a timetable for withdrawal or redeployment to non-conflict areas are explained as a way to force the Iraqi government to take more responsibility for the country's security; and calls for that government to dismantle the religious militias all involve demands that more Iraqi police be assigned to the neighborhoods where these militias operate.
The terrible problem is that all these proposals and many others that pop up daily in the media rest on the assumption that the American presence, however much it has failed, is nonetheless ameliorating intractable internal problems among the Iraqis.
This is the fundamental fallacy of the Myth of More (click here)....
