just viewing your user page, i think i literally lost 10 points of IQ and 10 points of vision in each eye.

[mysticx0]

lol yeah i was talking to him/her...and i dont think it was deleted it just got too many thumbs down

[abbienetvision]

mystic,

Vista is the old man in the picture wearing a Halloween costume. The little stripping girl are all he knows, aside from probably pedophilia, child porno, and possibly molestation of kids.

I wrote the FBI about him, since I find his channel page very worrisome.

[abbienetvision]

mystic,

Who was this message for? Could you please write the name, since vista, who watches girls strip (it's the entire page of vids of his) deleted his comment, in order to change the facts of your message.

hehehe thanx to my curiosity i had to see for myself and the same thing happened to me. curiosity killed this cat.

More killing of Muslims by Muslims. This is daily news and has no connection to Israel for all the morons that want to say it does.

Islam is spread by force, you can never leave, and the killing of Muslim/Muslim in the world is proof of the violent nature of these people.

[abbienetvision]

mystic,

To listen to Vista, who only knows how to watch little, young girls stripping is a joke. Vista is a waste of life who knows nothing of the world. I would say rather than ask questions to youtube users who may be terrorists in disguise, like vista, check on the net through verified sources.

mysticx0, No your on the money.

Note that it is respective interests so:

Turkey & Egypt interests are relative to their geographcial proximity to Europe

Whereas, Iran interests are to balance the Russian, Chinese, & Indian thrusts from the north, east & south and the USA & Eurpean Union from the west.

Diplomacy is waging war through non-military means: Power Calculus Matrix

Case example- Georgia: Russians exploited the gaps of EU & Econonmic Co-operation Organization

[mysticx0]

wow great answer!! you worded it perfect. so who would be the most influential, i guess? speaking purely from ignorance on the subject i would think egypt, turkey have more than, say iran, and places like syria and dubai have much less? would i be way off?

[vistavision2]

mysticxo, Diplomatic powers are equal for all nation-states; regardless, of geographical size, economic engine, or military strenght- Sovereignty.

I think that what you mean is: "Are there [Islamic] nation-states that can project their respective national interests in greater spheres of influence?"

That answer is Yes. It depends on many factors: Grasping the regional/global matrix of power calculus and its application as diplomacy.

Respective metric: Degree of respective sucess
