This is definitely something to watch, and something which Americans should be aware of. Unfortunately many Americans probably have no idea where Iran is, and if asked who Ahmadinejad is, would guess a contestant on American Idol or the newest cast member of Jersey Shore:munchin

"With Ahmadinejad’s election in 2005 and his immediate alliance with anti-Western leaders in the region like Venezuela’s Chavez, Iranian activity in Latin America became more widespread. Chavez laid out the welcome mat, offering Iran and Hezbollah unlimited access to the region.

And this past January, Border Patrol agents in Arizona found a book that was published in Iran near a smuggling route. Titled 'In Memory of Our Martyrs,' it glorifies suicide bombers.

Iran and Hezbollah are not oceans away from the U.S. They are, as Ahmadinejad boasted, in America’s backyard. Americans must be aware and vigilant."
