@Jakelafort – This video gives a very cogent explanation of where Iran is at. I don’t agree with all the implications but overall it is difficult to disagree with his lecture. (Note GCC = Gulf Cooperation Council or the 6 nations to the left of Iran)

Have a great week!!

@jakelafort – I liked the comment from ‘SP’ on the above article in the JPost:

I would recommend buying a white flag and waving it everywhere they go. It would not be a bad idea to take off their uniforms and sell it on eBay they would get many offers from Europe and Canada and the universities.
