Apart from Persian Shiites having very little in common with North African, mainly Sunni Arabs, it would be a step up if Iran had a regime even as open as generally laissez-fare as Mubarak's.We too often tend to conflate events in this place we simplistically call the "Middle East" when they have nothing in common. Tehran is further from Cairo than Miami is from Belize and just as different from an ethnic, historical, religious, cultural and geopolitical standpoint.. |
