When I was in engineering college in the late 70s/early 80s, our universities were filled with Iranians (all of whom seemed to drive brand new black & gold Trans Ams and dress like John Travolta in Sat Night Fever for some reason ....). Iran was our buddy at the time, not Iraq. These 'fellow' alumni would all be in their late 40's now and are running all the weapons and nuke operations over there I'm sure - with their paid-in-cash US educations!
Until we start drilling for our own oil on our own soil, there will be no end to these types of things. But we wouldn't want to endanger the spotted moose frogs would we?
