Iran, Unhinged

Filed under: Iran

No sooner is Iran presented with an opportunity to reduce tensions via the recent report indicating it is farther than thought from obtaining a nuclear device than it is deliberately provoking U.S. warships in international waters.

It is a nation governed by madmen. Slate offers analysis and suggestions as to how to avoid future conflict. What do you think? Should we have blown these boats out of the water? Or is that what Iran wanted us to do?

La Russophobe says:

Yes, I quite agree, the government of Iran is definitely a fake. Now the question is, what to do about it?

Jim "Heart Attack" Nelson says:

Not firing on the ships was a mistake. They need to be taught fear of us again. Then the gvt could have denied everything and Iran would look even more insane. Big opportunity missed here.

Could have been worse. Had our soliders been British, they would have surrendered immediately.

Not sure we should have blown the boats out of the water. Iran--unlike Iraq--is a different case, the Iranians (aka Aryans) are light years ahead of the nomadic camel drivers (aka arabs) and are traditionally pro-Western in general and pro-American in particular, especially the supporters of His Imperial Majesty the Shah.
Their navy is no match to ours. We can easily obliterate them, and they know it, but we need the people of Iran for the post-madman government, unlike the arab world where we don't need the mad dogs, just the oil

Aris Katsaris says:

"His Imperial Majesty the Shah."

The supporters of "Imperial Majesties" are by definition enemies of democracy, same as supporters of the Czars, or of the Chinese emperors.

That the revolution against him ended up bringing an even worse regime into power doesn't mean that you should glorify him in this obscene manner.

In my mind, tyrants will always be partly responsible for the even more monstrous forms that replace them -- the Czars are also responsible for the horrors of Lenin/Stalin same as the French monarchs share responsibility for the horrors of Robespierre and the Shahs for the Islamic revolution.
