The sum of these resources Iran now uses to control the Middle East is a considerably larger percentage of GNP that that used by Nazi Germany's foreign operations at the beginning of World War II but not as large as the percentage used by Socialist Russia during the cold war. Unfortunately, the nationalistic imperialism of each was and is paid for by public loss of resources in each country. Add the cost of nuclear weapons programs, it isn't surprising that all of these countries deteriorated to the point that warfare became a necessity to stay in power. Will Iran attack its neighbors in order to justify its misuse of resources?<br><br>Governing Clique, Supreme National Security Council<br>Personal political activities of members : 1,,200 personnel @ $11.500/day<br><br>Pasdaran police state activities : 420,000 personnel @ $350/day<br>Quds multi-state apparats: 17,000 personnel @ $800/day<br>Hezbollah political / military support: 15,000 personnel @$250/day<br>Hamaz political /military support: 11,000 personnel @ $600/day<br> Al-Sharqiyah Brigade support : 3.500 personnel @ $200/day<br>Tajik paramilitary support: 7,300 personnel @ $100/day<br>Azeri Azarbaijan political groups : 4,700 personnel @$200/dayjarobTue, 29 Jul 2008 17:35:13 -0000
