re: #9 b.d.

I’ve never seen people this scared of peace in all of my life.

Yeah. Although I’m not sure it’s ‘scared of peace’ so much as it is the need to see one’s opponents grovelling in the dirt. No agreement which leaves Iran with any semblance of sovereignty is acceptable to them. Like Bolton’s great idea to bomb Iran and then give support to the opposition - as if ANY political group would touch us with a 10 foot pole after we bomb them; as if bombing Iran wouldn’t cement the hardliners in power for another decade.

Seriously, the aggressive stupidity runs so deep that the mind boggles.
