Thanks, everyone. I guess I didn't ask a dumb/easy question. I love FR! It's a wealth of information!

I guess I didn't ask a dumb

No such thing as a dumb question, and whenever someone has the guts to ask a question many others have an opportunity to learn something. I for instance just learned that contrary to my prior thinking Iraqis aren't predominantly Persian, as the Iranians are. Pretty bad for somebody who's travelled a few times in the Middle East.

Thanks for being brave enough to ask your dumb (NOT) question. I learned a lot from the replies, too. Y'all are a terrific source of info!
