Might not be a bad thing. Iran, as bad as it is, is a bit more rational.
Think Communist Vietnam in 78 moving into Cambodia to depose Pol Pot.
Rational? Seriously? Rouhani’s been just as radical as Ahmadinejad, and perhaps more fervent than Ahmadinejad over Iran’s acquisition of nuclear weapons, and they’re more “rational”. The apples/oranges comparison of Vietnam/Cambodia is not helpful, with all due respect.
“Iran, as bad as it is, is a bit more rational.”
Things are seriously f’d up if Iran is more rational and Al Qaida is less violent than the sociopaths taking over Iraq now.
