Iraq: not a country, but an abstract concept in mid-2000s American politics :lol:

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Well, people were talking about Iranians calling in US air strikes, like it was maybe cool that the US and Iran work together. Iran and the US had a chance to work together a bit early in the Afghan war too. Just pointing out the obvious downsides.

It is just a bit of black humor that its come to this.  I remember back when people would claim the Shia are extreme while the Sunnis are moderates.  Nothing moderate about Sunnis now thanks to gulf oil.

Geographically Iran should be an ally (and has been in the past).  The Iranian revolution fucked it up, but I imagine it'll go back to the way it was eventually.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

They're still run by Shia theocrats though.

And in 1975 it was run by the Shah.

Exactly. We can work with rational actors motivated by wealth and power much more easily than ideologues who want to convert the world to Islam.

The Shah wasn't exactly rational.  But that's not the point.  He's gone.  One day the Iranian republic will be gone as well.  Or at least change drastically.
