re: #268 SanFranciscoZionist

I give you a 75% chance of being right on that one. Which does keep me up nights…

It’s worrysome, but I think more for the reasons Ace has said, that it radicalizes and motivates terrorists further, not because of a nuclear exchange.

Iran works extremely hard to maintain order and squash dissidents as we saw during the elections, it seems to me that they really like things as they are, and need to keep the population radicalized and fearful and focused on an external enemy to keep things as they are. And the population is becoming more moderate and less trustful of Ahmedinajad.

This is a very unpopular position to hold here, I realize.
