Look at iran, they are developing from a very bad place, into a soon to be great nation.

25, 40 years from now, iran will be a fantastic place with a wonderful quality of life.

100 years from now, the single state of Korea may be the technological heart of the world.

Iran is not an Arabic nation. Second, it has a very rich and strong cultural identity/history with a sense of nationalism, similar to Turkey in that sense. Not many other Middle East countries can boast of the good governing and economic prosperity that Iran has seen, if any at all.

Iran developing from a "bad place" is more of a political narrative than a reality. You want to see developing from a bad place, or lack thereof? Pakistan. Libya. Egypt. These are the guys that need our help and guidance. Iran is going to be fine, they have been fine for hundreds of years. With or without us.

Iran is one Western banking deal away from becoming Turkey since the 80's I'd say.
