And don't forget Iran is embargoed by most of the "west," so it's not going to have the resources of a semi-periphery satellite nation. When Iran is top on the list of aid recipients from the world's superpower for 40 years running, and gets an aid package that is strangely almost identical to their military budget, we can hold them to the same standard.
Not that I think Iran is all peaches and rainbows, but perspective when casting aspersions is prudent, and caution is always wise before vilifying a people.
*nods* I would never peg you for hating on the Persion *people* regardless. Just maybe the government a little. I did read it with a "Just what did YOU do?" feel, but if I misread it, I apologize.

I was actually curious if Iran or other middle eastern powers sent any aide. You answered my curiosity nicely.
