Alkaloid 01/03/18 2:03:57 PM #12:	Ehhh... since the Iranian government has said some pretty strong things against the protesters (who are mostly young and unemployed) and since the counter-protest by government supporters was enormous...

Turning the entire region into a massive sunni/shia war sounds like a recipe for a new world war. Sunnis don't have enough influence for that to be the crux of the conflict. In Iran it's young secularists vs religious hardliners, where there is a very good side to root for unlike Sunni vs Shia sectarianism. I would say second to that would be Kurds wanting independence. --- "I knew that I would get a chance to see the world and beat up its people." -Josh Barnett on martial arts Training: http://Machinhate.blogspot.com <cite>Pow Pow Punishment posted [p:893356028] in Can't beli...
