did in Europe in WW2?
It seems like the government is similarly radical. It also seems as if Iran has a history of trying and/or succeeding.
I'm afraid that middle eastern countries are so sure that the west is so skewed against them that they ignore the west's warnings. Instead believing that Iran is will be their protector in the region, but not realizing how right they are.
I also feel like many times they don't seem to see how the world wars help us understand the reality of the worst of human nature.
Even with a weaker military than the US or EU, I think the nuclear deterent would hold significant sway against would be adversaries (not wanting to touch off a nuclear holocaust). That is, we will be far less able to protect innocent Sunnis, Kurds, Christians, Jew, and other non-Shia muslims from a little ethnic cleansing.
