Three decades and counting on our strange, horrible obsession with that Islamic Republic, which never asked for us to monitor its inner life or judge its policies -- much less ruin its life.
Of course those countries over there are merely artificial constructs forced on those people by the Western powers in the wake of our own aggressions. Something just occurred to me -- the Greek myth of King Procrustes, it has to be an allegory for what big societies do to small ones!

The 30-Year US/Iran Nuke Standoff: We Started It In The Reagan Days
What can you say about a marriage that's been viciously abusive since before it began, and entirely one-sided? Believe that's a type of slavery common in the far East.
..... Oh, this is good!
Washington DC – “We’ve got to stop ISIS… al-Qaida… Syria’s Assad… Hamas… Hezbollah… Taliban…
Shebab…the wicked Ruskis in Ukraine…those Yemeni Houthis…Iran…Sudan…Islamists in Libya and Mali…Boko Haram in Nigeria… the Red Chinese in Asia. Oh yes, and defend Latvia and fight the Lord’s Army in Uganda.
That’s the view in Washington where international police fever and growing hysteria over ISIS, the latest Mideast bogeyman, have gripped the nation, as elections near and politicians talk more nonsense than usual.
Listen to Republican windbags and you’d believe the hordes of ISIS are about to put Cleveland to the sword.
My question is: which “we” is going to stop all these malefactors?
To quote Frederick the Great, “he who defends everything, defends nothing.” To which we may add, he who spends on wars everywhere, ends up broke. And he who ignores domestic needs for the sake of imperial glory abroad is cruising for a bruising.
