re: #239 Spare O’Lake

There can be no peace in the ME unless and until Iran is contained.

Don’t get me started on Iran.

The hope (and unofficial foreign policy) now is that a regime change will happen there and they will decommission like South Africa did. Meanwhile, the Mullahs use American and European network management software to detect, hunt and kill opponents of the state. It is vile and disgusting that we have allowed that to happen and find ourselves having to find ways to thwart the technology.

Just the same, you have ancient grudges there that go beyond “simple” religious and national identity. A pluralistic Middle East is generations away regardless of what happens to the mullahs.
