So how much do you think this whole thing is Trump and how much is Bolton? Iran's his pet enemy after all but then Trump loves selling stuff to the Saudis.

Trump's still got a long way to go if he wants to match or top his predecessor when it comes to arms sales to the Saudis, though.

And you wonder why people think you're conservative.

Yeah, we need more people telling us how much Trump sucks.
Why can't he just do that?

In the 70s Iran wanted to blend western culture in with their own. The people wanted a more secular or heavily reformed take on Islam. Western tourists could drink and smoke hash and dance with Iranian women in discos. And a lot of Iranians still want a friendly relationship with the west and even America in particular. They’ve given us every culture signal that they want to be friends. Iran should be the core of a new relaxed Islam but America has made it next to impossible for them not to become radicalized. I’m not saying that there hasn’t always been dangerous powers in play in Iran but I am saying if we weren’t such dicks ourselves this whole thing could’ve gone in a different trajectory.

There’s still time. It’s doubtful but we could still bring an olive branch to Iran. If we do attack them and start a war it’s important that we have huge demonstrations so they know it’s not all of us

This is so disappointing

I don't remember saying that at all.

You people really need to quit jumping to conclusions.
