#1 Iran must see itself as a Neo-Soviet player on the world stage. It is in a way. A way that is sort of crappy, second-rate and in need of a breath mint. By crappy, I mean crappy as compared to the Soviet Union which was crappy itself.

#2 People need to pay attention to the religious doctrine of the Iranian nut jobs that are now in power. They believe they can precipitate the coming of the Mahdi. Learn about the prophesy they believe to be true. Their goal is the taking over of the holy cities of Saudi Arabia. Their prophesy speaks of an Army from the South (Yemen?) and an Army from the North (Iraq/Syria) converging on Saudi Arabia.

They believe that if they create the conditions mentioned in the prophesy, they can cause the Mahdi to appear. It would be like a Christian who believes that if they create the conditions written about in Revelations, they can precipitate the second coming.

These people are crazy, it would do us well to listen to what they are saying as they believe it.

#4 IIRC see also STRATEGYPAGE > SAUDI SHIA SUPPRESSED.

All of the Saudi Govt's = Royal Family's new or expanded Public Benefits for Muslims isn't enuff to placate or replace Shia-perceived Govt + Sunni PERSECUTION, DISCRIMINATION, + MISSING RIGHTS, ETC. AS MUSLIMS.
