[QUOTE]Originally posted by Neutrino 123: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: [qb] Ottoman?Persian. [/qb][/QUOTE]No! The Ottoman Empire decayed into what is now Turkey (the final blow being WWI). The Ottoman Empire actually fought several wars with Persia. The people in Iran are almost all shiite, and mostly ethnic Persian. There are some ethnic Arabs in the south-west, but these do not have power. Most Arabs are Sunni, who do not get along well with shiites. Thus, Iran will NOT become "leader of the Arab world". They might get support in some areas, but that is very different then getting leadership. Pakistan (nuclear armed) is different ethnically from Arabs and is sunni, so since they don't have leadership, I don't see how Iran could get it... [/QB][/QUOTE]
