EU Wants Iran to Play a 'Major Regional Role'
2015-04-29
Despite being the leading state sponsor of terrorism, Iran should play a "major role" in the Middle East according to EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini on Tuesday.
If Europeans are determined on self-extinction, that's their business. But why are they trying to drag the rest of the World down with them?

Again, SHIA ISLAM = closer to Western JudeoChristianity than Sunni Islam, to include Eastern Rite Christianity [Orthodox].

IOW, MAMA RUSSIA + EASTERN CHRISTIANITY/ORTHODOX FAITHS have a stake in Shia Iran winning = "not losing" in the GWOT agz Sunni Islam andor mostly Sunni Radical Islam [Hard Boyz].

#2  Yep. In the old days, storming a embassy compound, holding nationals as hostages usually resulted in some real nasty wars which had a tendency to remove wannabee players from further adventures.
