I would hazard to say that there are lines of loyalty and politics in the Middle east that many of us do not really understand, coupled with religious and cultural beliefs that we do not understand as well.

Having said that, the leader of Iran just may see himself as in a position to bring about the end times, if not at least the beginning of the end times. A time when through great conflict the world is converted to Islam, and the hidden Imam may then appear. In fact he may find this to be his sacred duty.

The King of Saud, is not that guy.

As dangerous as the two countries are, if I had to choose one to keep a closer eye on, well shit, I'd keep an eye on em both.
