re: #554 haakondahl

Well, I don’t see a Jeffersonian or even Hamiltonian Democracy emerging there in the near term, which is fine. Incremental improvement will probably have to suffice—things which are slow to build momentum usually are difficult to stop. Breaking the stuck bits free in the beginning is the critical piece. And so far it’s going as well as can be expected. Better than we had any right to hope as of a week ago.
A post-Khameini Council, a post-Council parliamentary system (with several religious parties)—these are the Big Wins up for grabs, as far as I can figure, in the next decade.
Starting now.

Where does that leave us re: nukes?
