Dianavan, I think that Al Qaeda has very little to do with Iran. In Iran they follow the Shiite wing of the Islam religion, the same wing of Moqtada Al Sadr and the Ayatollah Al Sistani in Iraq. Osama Ben Laden is Sunni, and of a particular fundamentalist sect of Sunni, the Wahabites, that are strong in Saudi Arabia.Sunni and Shiites are not good friends. I' m sure that the Shiite extremist have their own terrorist wings, but Al Qaeda recuiting among the Iran schools is like the IRA recruiting in a Protestant school in Northern Ireland.
