Sunni-ruled Saudi Arabia has accused Shia Iran of meddling in the affairs of the violence-ravaged country, but Tehran has denied the charge, which also drew a scathing attack on Saudi Arabia from an Iraqi Shia minister
"Iraqis are complaining of interference by Iran. If there is indeed such interference, especially in provinces neighbouring Iran, that would be quite serious," Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal said last month
Saud has also charged that Washington was effectively handing Iraq to Iran by pursuing a policy that deepened sectarian divisions. Tehran dismissed Riyadh's concerns.
Interior Minister Bayan Baqer Sulagh said the oil-rich Sunni-ruled kingdom had several problems of its own to take care of. "Saudis should first allow women to drive, as is the case in Iraq," he said, adding that "four million Shia live like second-class citizens in the Saudi kingdom."

I bet if Iran had these ammounts of Oil, USA would be VERY Friendly to them and would probably be "Best Friends" just as they are with Saudis today.
Fair and Balanced?

Souljah, Iran does have huge oil reserves. The U.S. is opposed to the government of Iran because it is a repressive regime that supports terrorism and wants to proliferate nuclear weapons.

The US is only opposed to them because they know they can't get them to side with them.
I agree on Iran having huge oil reserves though, they already surpassed Iraq?
Top Ten Countries with Oil Reserves in Billion Barrles:
1. Saudi Arabia 261.9
2. Canada 178.81
3. Iran 125.8
4. Iraq 115.0
5. Kuwait 101.5
6. United Arab Emirates 97.8
7. Venezuela 77.2
8. Russia 60.0
9. Libya 39.0
10. Nigeria 35.3

I think the reason they are opposed to the Iranian regime is because Iran is not friendly to the US and because Israel doesn't like Iran and views them as a threat.

As for nuclear proliferation. Iran is not signed up to that treaty and do not have to abide by it.

If I remember Correctly the Majority of the Terrorist from the 9-11 WTC Crash were Suadi. OBL is a Saudi. But Bush Administration attacked Afganistan after 9-11 and at the Beginning of the War on Terror. They attacked Iraq, but he had NO connection to Al-Qaeda or to 9-11 or was he in possession of any WMD's. You could say that US Attacked and Invaded two countries without any REAL Reason - they were all based upon Lies.
One More Reason that Bush Administration wants this War with Iran.
And Canada.
