Since 1979, I have warned people that the Iranian Shiites, who are twelversare b@ts#it crazy. I've studied the ME since 1967 and have known some people. The only rational Iranian I ever met was a Persian who came from Reza Pahlavi's government. Of course, it wouldn't have been like I'd meet a number of women.

Just thinking about what is now being set up by Baraq O bamah and Frenchie, who served in Viet Nam...and supported the Sandanistas...is something an anti-Christ or two would think of.

It was idiot Jimmy Carter and his constant prattling about "human rights" that made me start to suspect there was a reason why every "successful" government ruling over Muslims is a Dictatorship of one form or another.

As time went on, I realized that you cannot have the sort of government that we would consider normal here. They and We have entirely different foundational assumptions about people and religion. Islam is a massive hierarchy with Allah at the top and everyone in their proper pecking order below.

This Christian concept of "equality" is simply incomprehensible to their social structure. Everyone must have a master or superior that ranks higher than them on their theological scale.

Anyways, the Shah was the best thing for Iran, and Jimmy Carter was an idiot to push his stupid human rights agenda when the only thing keeping the country under control was the willingness of the Shah to let his SAVAK do what needed to be done. The Theocracy killed in one year more people than the Shah had in his entire rule.

And now the New and Improved Jimmy Carter of Stupid and that silly Kerry-traitor-bastard are about to let these fanatics have Atomic weapons?
