[I actually just consider the possibility — no, the NEAR CERTAINTY — that I’m never going to get the truth from any of these assholes.]
So you do think that none of the events I cited happened? And that Persia hasn’t actually waged war repeatedly, over the past 3000 years, back when our forebears were running around in animal skins, over that region and beyond, in the course of establishing an empire, losing it and going through that same cycle repeatedly? Everything being said about Iran has a basis in history and recent events. Iran has been launching ballistic missiles at Riyadh (Saudi Arabia’s capital) from Yemen. That is the equivalent of the Soviets launching ballistic missiles at Washington from North Vietnam during the Vietnam War. The mullahs are reckless and getting more reckless as Iran’s economic situation goes from bad to worse. The day Shanahan announces that we are doing Osirak II, but over the course of a month of air strikes, I’ll raise a glass.
