Where did you get this info from? I doubt this. I am sure that the right number belongs to some oil country.

Washington -- Iranian-Americans are more numerous in the United States than
census data indicate and are among the most highly educated and
prosperous people
in the country, according to research by the MIT Studies Group, an
independent academic organization, at Massachusetts Institute
of Technology (M IT). *

The group estimates that the actual number of Iranian-Americans may top
691,000
-- more than twice the figure of 338,000 cited in the 2000 U.S. census.
According to the latest census data available, more than one in four
Iranian-Americans holds a master's or doctoral degree, the highest rate
among any of the 67 largest ethnic groups studied from Europe, Former Soviet
Union, Asia, Australia, South and Latin America.
With their high level of educational attainment and a median family income
20 percent higher than the national US average, Iranian-Americans contribute
substantially to the U.S. economy. Through surveys of Fortune 500 companies
and other major corporations, the researchers identified more than 50
Iranian-Americans in senior leadership positions at companies with more than
$200 million in asset value, including General Electric, AT&T, Verizon,
Intel, Cisco, Motorola, Oracle, Nortel Networks, Lucent Technologies, and
eBay. Fortune magazine ranks Iranian Born Pierre Omidyar, founder and
chairman of the board of eBay, the wildly popular online auction company, as
the second richest American entrepreneur under age 40 with an estimated
wealth of over seven billion dollars.
Iranian-Americans are also prominent in academia. According to a preliminary
list compiled by ISG, there are more than 500 Iranian-American professors
teaching and doing advanced research at top-ranked U.S. universities,
including MIT, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Carnegie
Mellon, the University of California system (Berkeley, UCLA, etc.),
Stanford,
the University of Southern California, Georgia Tech, University of
Wisconsin, University of Michigan, University of Illinois, University of
Maryland, California Institute of Technology, Boston University, George
Washington University, and hundreds of other universities and colleges
throughout the United States.
Iranians have achieved a high level of success in the United States because
unlike many immigrants, most left their homeland for social, political, or
religious reasons, rather than in search of economic opportunity. The two
large waves of immigrants who came
to the United States because of the 1979 revolution in Iran consisted mainly
of people with education and assets, he notes. "These were people who could
make it to the U.S. and sustain themselves in the U.S. It was a
pre-selection, not your typical immigration where people come mainly for
financial reasons," he said.
In another recently issued report, the Iranian Studies Group has undertaken
the mission of convincing Iranian-Americans to become more active
participants in the American political process. According to surveys in some
major cities, fewer than 10 percent voted in the last
presidential election.. The report cites the experiences of other ethnic
groups,
such as Israeli-Americans, Arab-Americans, and Cuban-Americans, to show how
Iranians could use their collective voice to influence U.S. foreign policy
regarding Iran and address the needs of the
Iranian-American community.
Please provide information about this issue. How much of that money goes to Israel? Id guess about 99%.
I dont know if this is suppose to be a good thing or bad thing.
Yes its true that jews are #1 in media and what do they do with this power? Just look at the FAUX news network. What a shame.
Just trash signs up for the army, everybody knows that.
Seriosuly? I like sports, but have never seen a jew being in the top in any sport. Please give information. Are you talking about the israelian sports? Shoot-one-palestinian-from-3km-distance?

You should also add this:
11. Jews have broken more UN resolutions then any other country in the world. Not even saddam or some other country comes close.
12. Jews have also killed most innocent people in modern time
