It worth the American to extend for them a small finger, they hang on it, become pro American and forget about the rest of the world. A huge country with economical productivity lower than any European Country .Beside military industry ,natural resources and zigzagging politics they have nothing to sale.
3. Iranian Oil Refining Capacity

I am curious why Iran does not invest in more refining... ? I think they should stop their nuclear activities -- But from their point of view, if they need more gasoline, why don't they invest more in refining? Is it that hard to build a refinery?

So now the Russians are worthless to you? No credit for all the help during the last 40 years in helping Arab states with their arms supply and political cover? Can't a Russian get a break? Sami you fool, the Russians have always worked you guys for the money. When you no longer interest them, they move on. The zero sum game of Arab politics isn't worth the effort. When the oil runs out, the world will move on and your Arab world will be a Disneyland excursion for interested travelers. The real trouble will be when the Russian engineers begin leaving the Busheir Nuclear reactor project in Iran. When that happens, the shit will soon hit the fan.
6. The "joke" is on Iran. Good timing too!

Ahmadinejad is feeling the heat. He's still trying to squeeze money to cover his exorbitant spending. The so called President of Iran who ran on an election platform to bring oil stipends to Iranian homes (never happened) is pushing to cut food and energy subsidies to Iran's low income and poor. A desperate move to insulate the rich clerics, bazarris and social elite from economic hardship.
