#3 It would be interesting to see informed comments from someone who has been there recently, so we can better translate from diplo-speak to the real conditions. For instance, what is the situation there with regard to the various Shia militias and Sharia enforcement squads? Is it a province that is comfortable with where it is, or is it likely to be a staging ground for the Iranian occupation forces (or both)? It is a province we don't hear too much about, which is generally a good thing, but .... in this case I wish I knew more.
