Charlatan so much wrong with you post. In a short response
-15 Saudi Nationals do not equate to a problem with the Saudi government or state sponsored terrorism.
Iran Quds unit is a branch of the revolutionary guard and directly associated with the government of IRan, just like Hezbollah a terrorist organization with long standing terrorist involvement against America and the west.
Iran being a democracy is a farce. They were moving towards something a few years ago under Khatami, but since he has been out of power the overlord/guardian council stepped in and has an effective strangle hold on the politics. There is nothing democratic when there are not free and open elections.
As noted in other threads it is not so easy to make a comparison between Iran and Saudi Arabia. The house of Saud has a delicate deal with Sharian Islamofacists whom you so readily speak of, they walk a fine line, and as brought up in other threads I would rather have the House of Saud in power then another hardline Muslim theocratic regime.
Not bringing up direct figures, but America has little dependence on Middle Eastern Oil, in fact we only get some 20-25% of our oil from the region.
