It's an interesting article, followed by an enthusiastic debate, but are they really revealing anything new? To me, at least, the apparently aggressive stance of Iran towards the West is only a response to previous dominance, sanctions, indirect-warfare by supporting Saddam in the Iraq/Iran War, and finally the labeling as a member of the "Axis of Evil". One can say similar about a number of Middle Eastern countries. The whole al Qaeda situation is only a response to first European, then U.S. aggressive policies towards the region. Repairing fences, not continually knocking them down, is the only solution. John Wayne died a long time ago - thank God!
An interesting read. Thanks for the link.
