That is true. But the similarity i'm trying to point out is that both have a real chance of breaking out into a war. Then it was the balkans, now it's the middle east, but in both, there are major alliances, who have interests in those regions, that don't want to lose them. The main difference is that there'll be more than 2 sides, and stronger weapons. All we need is some rogue dictator to get angry and BAM suddenly we're in WW3.
