with the North Koreans who can't even make a decent cup of coffee building 'em and the Iranians who can't drive a cab in NYC firing the missiles; I don't think we have a thing to worry about!

between the two of 'em they'll probably blow themselves to hell trying to figure out red is positive and black is negative! LMAO

"with the North Koreans who can't even make a decent cup of coffee building 'em and the Iranians who can't drive a cab in NYC firing the missiles; I don't think we have a thing to worry about!..."

A couple of years ago when I started paying attention to this issue, I asked myself, "What's the political rationale for a state like Iran to challenge the U.S. a nation that has been to our Moon and back, by developing a nuclear weapon and the means to deliver it?" Although this is an "unknown", I thought estimation was in order...

I came to the conclusion that the actions of Iran do not fit on our scale of rationality. What would make sense to you or me is absurd to them and vice-versa. Much of official Iranian logic is derived from their anti-American identity. When I looked analytically at the Iranian government, I was struck by the realization that its institutions do not posses an identity of their own but are defined as an “anti-identity”. And the derivative institutions have been formed solely to support this “anti-identity”. When this most recent incarnation of Iran was born its leaders maligned Islam to create legitimacy where they had none. But this version of Islam, as the free world is quickly coming to realize, is just an incantation. It will collapse, not because they can’t afford [financially or intellectually] to deliver a functioning bomb, but because they are maintaining their dictatorship with an easily exposed lie.
