Hello, 1938 called and it wants a return to the appeasement arguments for ‘Let the Germans have their Nazis as long as they just divide up eastern Europe” and “ Even Nazis have the right to develop nuclear weapons”
I don’t understand your reply, but I expect that any military action will be limited to centrifuges and the uranium enrichment industry. People may be disappointed, but the Mullahs will probably remain.
I have worked with several technically impressive Persians. They got out when the Shah fell. But, I suppose they were not all of the technically-minded Persians there were. Since the fall of the Shah, it has seemed to me that Iran has tried to live with one foot in the past and the other, the future.
