Persians have been at odds with the West and neighboring Asians since the battle of Thermopylae. Today’s nuclear showdown is history repeating itself. I don't accept the basis of this article at all. "Persians" are not a problem. Islam is. So the Persians fought the greeks 2000 years ago.. so what? Great powers fight each other over time.

I don’t accept your premise that Islam is the problem. The problem is the Salifist/Wahabist/Khumeinist sects of Isal.

I agree with you. If Iran wasn’t Islamo-fascist, I rather doubt Iran would be our enemy.

I wish I didn't have to agree with you. (not that Persians are a problem, but that Islam is). As Harvard historian Samuel Huntington put it, Islam has "bloody borders".
