More Sunni vs Shiite. But I thought the Saudi's were Wahhabi.

And as we all know this is not the first time Iranians attacked an embassy. Hasn't anyone ever told them an Embassy is sovereign soil of the country living there.

Wahhabi is a sub sect of the Sunnis. A very nasty sub sect.

And yet, the Saudi's have a seat on the UN Human Rights Council! http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...n-secret-deal-over-human-rights-council-place

Isn't it wonderful how power can be bought and negotiated for so that even the most despicable get to be in charge?

This could make the past and present problems in the area seem trivial if these tensions boil over and explode in 2016...

Iran says Saudi's bombed Iranian Embassy in Yemen

Apparently the Saudi's have sent a message of sorts to the Iranians bombing a target close enough to the Iranian Embassy that it took debris/shrapnel from the explosion. Saudi actively involved militarily in Yemen conflict.
