Rooting for Persia
As Persia gets closer to some form of nuclear capability, our political psychopaths on both "sides" are shouting louder and louder, but in this case they're agreeing.
Any time both "sides" loudly agree on a course of action, you can be sure it's false, evil, Satanic and suicidal; any time both "sides" loudly disagree on an issue, you can be sure it's either (1) utterly trivial or (2) a basic and unalterable law of Nature.
Why the shouting this time? Easy.
A non-nuclear Persia makes a great target for our mindless infantile saber-rattling and wild feral rhetoric. When Persia has nukes, we’ll have to treat them with respect, and that’s an unthinkably horrible prospect for the Bushobama dynasty. It means one less excuse for infinitely increasing military budgets, one less country that we can casually invade and occupy forever, one less source of profit for military contractors.
I hope and pray that Persia can decisively establish its weapons before we stir up enough rancor to "justify" an invasion. ¶ 3:39 AM
