Iran for the last forty-five years has squandered an incredible amount of its wealth and the blood of Iranians outside of its own borders. Sooner or later the population will decide to send the mullahs packing back to their mosques and madrases. The dominant cultural force of the region is Iranian culture. Even the Abrahamic Accordian folks will get a run for their money, when the Iranian folks get back to making their own decisions without the mullahs.
