Global Civil War within Islam

I previously called this WW3, but that isn't quite right.  The war is between the Sunnis (led by Saudi Arabia) and the Shiites (led by Iran).

"Saudi Arabia has gone on the offensive against Iran to protect its interests. Its involvement in Syria is the first battle in what is going to be a long conflict that will know no frontiers nor limits. Ongoing disorders in the island kingdom of Bahrain since February 2011 have set off alarm bells in Riyadh."

My comments:  Syria and Bahrain are fronts in this war.  North Korea is an ally of Iran, as both countries seek to develop nuclear weapons.  It is not clear where Egypt stands.
