I'm going to be a lone voice here. Iran is Persian not Arab. It's people are civilized. Its rigid government means it hasn't descended into chaos. As far as its abuse of citizens, it's nowhere near Saudi Arabia's, our "ally" that's given us nothing good unless you count holding the US hostage for their oil.

Iran might make a better ally than the beheaders and their enablers do.

After all the chaos caused by liberal Western intervention over the past two decades, endorsing a more balanced approach to US foreign policy in the Middle east is a rational conservative position.
