You're addressing a different point, i.e., Iran's heightened influence in the Middle East which resulted from GWB's disastrous decision to invade Iraq. I'm happy to discuss this matter with you, but it wasn't my point. I claimed "Saudi Arabia was (and is) the greatest fomenter of terrorism in the world"(through its export of Wahhbism). In 2012, 70% of global terrorism was committed by Sunni Islamists, according to the National Counterintelligence Center. I would like to share the Shia stat with you, but it wasn't even listed, presumably too negligible. When the Iranians start exporting hate to every corner of the globe, I'll reconsider my position. That's what the Saudis have been doing for years and continue to do. If you don't know this, you haven't been keeping up with the times.
