Here's the last bit from this insightful,witty poster Prinzowhales:

"It is important to note, as the SCOTSMAN article of a few days before reported...there is economic disatisfaction in Iran. If there were not the necessity of increasing the conspicuous consumption of military spending in the face of the American threat, more effort could go towards bettering the lives of the working class in Iran. This is in line with Amadenijad's inclinations. This would be anathema to the "Merchants of Death" in the New World Order camp."

Oh what a humorous picture I see in my minds eye

Many a truth is best served with wit and humor

Of course Pres. Ahmadinejad isn't at ALL interested in intimidating his Sunni neighbors. No, of course not. Lots of love there between Sunni and Shi'a. Why, if it wasn't for those bad old Americans, there would be *no* violent schism in the Muslim world! Any evidence that the schism predates the founding of the United States itself by more than 1,100 years is an historical lie just like the Holocaust, right Pres Ahmadinejad?
