I don't really get all the conspiracies about shiites and sunnites and Saudis. From my point of view Iran managed quite well to isolate itself by having extreme fundamentalists at their top.

as opposed to... the Saudis? the main exporter of wahhabism?

I do agree that It's never truly about religion, that's just what the monarchs feed their people. I don't know the real reasons behind Obama's pivot towards Iran as well, but it will be interesting to watch.

Well didn't most of the hijackers of 9/11 supposedly come from Saudi Arabia?  We sure punished them hard.  Maybe not because Bush family and Saudis were butt buddies.
