Iran has a "complicated" relationship with al-Qaeda? Don't they hate each other?

Yeah, that's obviously wrong.

Also they should add a "Libertarians and True Leftists" row, so that Isis has a friend.

Saudi Arabia and Al Qaeda should probably be switched to "it's complicated."

This, exactly. While the government doesn't officially support Al Qaeda, the amount of funding Al Qaeda has received from rich Saudis makes the Saudi government's position almost irrelevant.

Funny that the United States supposedly has a better relationship with Saudi Arabia than with fellow NATO member Turkey.

Hezbollah is like a better version of Iran. More anti Al Qaeda. More anti Egypt. More pro Turkey.
