AIN'T gonna happen.
Where do you think those mad mullahs [excellent description, by the way] came from? From THEIR OWN. The Iranians/Persians ALWAYS have thought that they are God's gift to the human race. They've been hated, loathed and despised for eons.
They ESPECIALLY hated all Arabs. THEN our good Lord decided to allow the Saudis to develop their abundant natural resources: petroleum/natural gas. The Saudis will run out of these things in another 200 years or so.
The Iranians still hate them but...the they are ridiculed now for their attitude. It certainly isn't necessary since the Saudis can buy Iran with their one-day pocket change.
There was a moment in 2009 when there was at least a faint possibility. BO made sure it flickered out.
I don’t rule out any possibility, but I agree with you that it’s an EXTREMELY minuscule possibility. Maybe not zero, but darn close.
Still, we should be doing everything we can to encourage it.
The two statements are oxymorons
If the Iranis turn around tomorrow and say "Oy, we are oppressed by this Arab religion, let's go and destroy Mecca" -- that's good news
