....you really need to take a few minutes and watch this:
Iran - at least the regime - is not fighting the same "war" that we are fighting. For them, it is a religious war, independent of territory, politics, oil, uranium enrichment, or any of that.
The now-deceased head muthafukka rewrote the ENTIRE national school curriculum shortly after the 1979 revolution, training students at every level to hate all non-Muslims, especially America and Israel. They have been taught (we used to call it, "brainwashed") to believe that the most noble thing one can do is to die fighting the infidels. When we say, "We got the bastards," they say, "God is great!" These are the same people who used young school kids to "clear" mine fields during the Iran-Iraq war, and their grade school textbooks now idolize the kids who died in the process, printing their pictures and life stories.
One hopes that there is a core segment of Persian society that realizes what a load of horseshit this all is, but that indoctrination has been going on now for GENERATIONS.
It is folly to expect such people to negotiate "in good faith." If they can lie, conceal, deceive, or trick an infidel, that is something to be proud of.
As I type this, the Iranians are saying that they will refuse to even sit down with our Reps in Pakistan unless and until the Israelis concede that the "cease fire" prevents them from going after Hezbollah in Lebanon - which will not happen - I think Our Beloved President needs to deem the "deal" breached and proceed to bomb them back into the Stone Age. And "we" need to open the infamous Strait, by force if necessary.
But what do I know?
