The Iranian thing - no nation worth their salt is going to stop making nuclear weapons. Libya, Iraq, North Korea: One of these things is not like the other. And N. Korea will never be invaded because they have a nuke. That said opening up trade with the Iranians is the surest way to confirm a peaceful transition for them back into the family of nations. The revolution is dying, the mullahs want a way out, and the public is too educated, due to the diaspora to ever support dictators in the future.

Giving up nukes is secondary to getting them Starbucks. The former will never happen, and the latter will do more for peace than trade talks ever will.

Can't we start with Dunkin' Donuts first? I don't know if there's enough MacBooks around Iran to achieve peak Starbucks.

Hawaii lawmaker Sharon Har, who railed against drunk driving, busted for alleged DUI

A hypocritical official, driving while drunk and playing the "do you know who I am?" card.

I'm shocked... shocked!

No. America runs on Dunkin. It would be too much freedom all at once.

Why would you import Dunkin Donuts when you can import Crispy Cream?

There's not enough Chris Christies in Iran for it to be a successful business model.
