This is bullshit.
I don't give a fuck about an "Iranian threat" because, frankly, there isn't one. What there is, is an Israeli and a Saudi threat, and most of the world agrees. If you want to come back at me with the hidden anti-semitism of Europeans go ahead, but that doesn't say much about the the rest of the non-European population of the planet. And the state department wonks who refer in private to the cultural changes in Iran as a "lipstick revolution"* should go back to school for somethng other than political 'science.' Change doesn't begin with political activity, it ends with it.
God save us all from specialists.
