Iran wants the attention of a civilized country like the U.S. otherwise it would be completely ignored because on the list of the world’s important nations Iran is on the bottom.
Without oil and terrorism Iran would be of interest only to National Geographic.
I don't think NG would be interested, either.
No topless native girls to photograph....
So true. This is what state-sponsored terrorism hinges upon.
I agree - it’s a third world Islamic pit that knows it cannot compete or command respect on ordinary terms, and instead has decided that the way to go is the usual Islamic route, terrorizing and destroying developed societies within its reach.
Modern technology and oil money unfortunately have enabled its reach to grow much longer. Once upon a time, Islamic pirates could be avoided if one stayed away from the Mediterranean; now Islamic pirate nations are essentially capable of going after civilized people anywhere they live. Their objective is to capture and enslave us all, and it would be nice if our leaders would be honest about this and take some steps to prevent it before it happens, rather than try to figure out what to do when it’s too late and the major attack is underway.
