A smart scientist would be one who finds uses for radioactive glass.
What happens in Iran is up to the people of Iran, who, by all evidence, overwhelmingly support the regime.
Western-sponsored coups that install a government by the 5% of the population that are westernized end in disaster, usually after some sort of war.
What happens to "protesters" in some barbaric craphole is not the responsibility of "Obama", or any other American President.
I always like to check out the authors I don’t know:
Joshua Krause is a reporter, writer and researcher at The Daily Sheeple. He was born and raised in the Bay Area and is a freelance writer and author. You can follow Joshuas reports at Facebook or on his personal Twitter. Joshuas website is Strange Danger .
The Saudis could save some money if they stopped the worldwide support of radical mosques and schools.
I can't wait to see the State Farms Commercial where a Female Saudi Driver gets the lower Insurance Rates.... ;-)
Saudi Arabia, far from being our "ally" is, together with Pakistan, our principal enemy in the current religious war.
Obama is the President because of Bush's mind-boggling mismanagement of the events following the Saudi-Baluchi attack on New York. By attacking Iraq, which could have been much better used as an ally in our march on Riyadh, we wasted the lives of 4500 irreplaceable heroes, crippled 30 000 others, and pissed away trillions of dollars, for nothing.
It takes a special mental disposition to refer to Saudi Arabia as an American ally. The sooner the heads of the al-Saud clan fall to the sword, the better.
So...the US Government sees the Saudis as kindred spirits? :)
So you know, that.
Since 2009 Obama has handed the regime a string of concessions and foreign policy wins. Iran now gets to sell their oil and build nuclear weapons. He's allowing another vile extraction economy to replace, or to compete with, Saudi.
The Iranian government now feels invincible. To much of the populace they are 'the strong horse that faced off the great satan'.
Obama has effectively stabilized the Iranian junta and placed it on firm foundations. We will be dealing with the fallout from his murderous decisions for as long as we've been dealing with Carter's.
Bump!
If they are truly this desperate, they’d stop importing foreign maids and drivers, clean their own homes and drive their own women.
The cost of that support labor would be relatively low, but it would eliminate at least 10% of the population.
You don't send in the Marines to (a then) allied nation. Iraq may have been a mistake but the US should have crippled Iran then, not Iraq.
Again, if the House of Saud goes down the tubes, Iran will get the oil fields. Is that a better post-Obamian world order?
Now, what about the Israelis?
Would you agree that the Saudi Royal family knows it has an expiration date on the Arabian Peninsula and is the reason they are so heavily invested in global real estate, particularly in Switzerland and other perceived safe-havens?
I would be interested in your opinion regarding the relationship between the Saudi ruling and religious classes.
Question: Do the rulers of Saudi Arabia defer to the religious leaders of Saudi Arabia as a political necessity or out of devotion to Islam?
If the answer is both, which force is the stronger?
What about them?
They're in a tough spot. Hopefully they can hang on.
It's fortunate that their enemies are for the most part Arabs, not exactly known for social cohesion and martial valor, but there ARE a lot of them.
I would not blame them if they nuked the Iranian facilities.
As far as the big picture, there are two opposing arguments. The first is that they occupy the land (including Judea and Samaria) by a royal deed (Genesis 12:1-9) and have the right to smite (kill) all their enemies and disputants. The second is that they occupy the land because of international law and some resolutions passed by the United Nations.
Unfortunately for the people who live there, the government of Israel has been pleading its case using argument #2.
The same UN that told them they could go there will, some day, tell them they must leave. What they will do then is anybody's guess.
Well said!

Indeed, it took very few to achieve the siege of Mecca in 1979...which yielded decades of after effects across the globe.
Later
See Netz' post at #5. I think he lays it out pretty well.
Spot on.
Hand out IUD’s to all women in the middle east. Problem will be solved.
