The iranians may be apt all by themselves, but nothing can overshadow
the vast propaganda machine the U.S. employs to that end.

Dear U.S.-based list members, it hasn't ever occurred to you that you
just might be slightly afflicted by that severe reality distortion field that
your media emits at all and every wavelength?

Please note: I do not, repeat not, believe that the iranians are all
peaceloving and benign. Their religious/political leadership actually
seems to be a tad dangerous.

But, and this is a significant aber, I fail to see that they pose any
significant danger beyond the scale of ordinary drug cartels, sports
hooligans or even tax cheaters to the general security of the U.S.
homelands. They are a threat primarily to their own citizens. All that
rhetoric and ballyhoo from Ahmadinejad et consortes is first and
foremost to achieve a situation where the interior is content with
their repression since they believe the western world has an agenda
with their annihilation on it. You just guess if that baseball fanboy
has helped them in keeping Iran non-secular and tolerant of
religious opression. Seen in that light, GWB is indeed their most
powerful supporter.

If they're a pain in the ass when you have to pay up at the
pump, so what? They actually help you save the world from
global warming...
