[QUOTE="HappyHiram, post: 2985894, member: 134851"] err... you must be reading someone elses posts. I certainly haven't posted to the effect that Iran is the real enemy. I've not even implied it. Hmm... that's not what I said. I think you're reading a whole lot into what I've posted. I never delved into the secularism vs. the fundamentalist Islamic issues... again go back and read what I posted... the two words aren't even in there. The issue of power shift has more to do with the Sunni and Shi'ite power bases than anything else. That's been a point I've brought up on more than one thread pertaining to the subject. There has been a developing trend away from Sunni powerbases and towards Shi'ite powerbases... much of it having to do with population explosions amongst teh Shi'ites. Again - I've posted at length on this issue in several threads you yourself have posted in before here at MAP. I guess it depends on if you consider stating relevant facts and issues as a rant. I don't. That may be part of your problem... because you certainly are coming away with something very different than what I've posted. The US is spearheading the possibility of a war with Iran. They are the media machine behind it. The US is also the one who stands to lose the most face if Iran does develop nuclear capabilities. Earlier in the thread someone said that Iran is an 'unstable' country. I fail to find that they are unstable... after all it's not Iran running around invading countries when it suits them on false pretenses and outright lies to protect their financial and oil interests. That's not an anti US rant... that's the simple reality at the moment. [/QUOTE]
