I also don't much care if Russia has pipelines. All I really want is a civilized Middle East not intent on world domination and armed with nukes with crazy raggedy headed dudes in charge talkin' about Great Satans and pushing Jews into the sea and such.
Is that so much to ask?
If I can't have that, the nuclear option appeals to me.
You better get on board with my plan cause there is no way in hell there will be any peace in that part of the world til they know if they screw up they will cease to exist.
Oh and they will still want to kill us all given any and every opportunity.
