Tell "everyone."
I reserve the right to make flippant remarks on FR when I choose. Freedom of speech and all that, you know.
I know more about the situation in Iran and how the people feel than you probably think I do.
I also very likely have a different perspective on the potential fireworks in Iran than you do.
And a sense of humor is essential to me.
I wasn't trying to 'inform' you, Allegra.
I picked your post to enter the conversation and wanted to interject a tangent. What if the power of religion and power of state have a settling out as terrorists and fanatics removed?
What if....?
Everyone seems to be so "BLOW IRAN TO HELL" when we really know that is not a solution.
I want people to think more, instead of just react to emotion. Tooooooo much of that on the other side to go imitating them.
IIRC, you are stationed in the ME, and I respect and admire your devotion and courage, and knowledge.
Every time I see your screename I pray for your safety.
