#2 The Tigris and the Eurphrates, plus those streams that feed into them can be utilized more effectively. Reservoirs and irrigation canals help the American West get through droughts. Center pivots create "crop circles" of green growth even in the high desert regions of northeastern Colorado. Water wells can be drilled just as readily as oil wells, too. I believe even the ancient Babylonians irrigated, utilizing the regions water resources, making the Mesopotamian region the Cradle of Life. Screw Iran.
