Could we be seeing the return to pre-Islamic Iran?

Very possibly! If so, look how simple it proved to solve the Iran problem--just do the decent democracy-defending thing. kick the mullahs' asses (Trump's motto: "your best friend, your worst enemy"). Then the floodgates open to all the pent-up anger of the oppressed Iranian people, the Revolutionary Guards are told to fuck off to their faces, Khamenei is told he has to resign: then Tweet encouragement to the protests and warn the regime against violent suppression. (Yes, I wonder if this wasn't the plan all along. Finally call their bluff, deal them a staggering blow, humiliate and expose them in front of the people, then lend support to the uprising with words, yes, but with proven deadly force to back them up.)

It's so simple--and yet the Obama regime made it seem impossible to defeat the mullahs, and instead kissed their asses and sent them billions. Kerry had the gall to admit, Well yeah, they'll use some of that money for terrorism (so what? so some more Americans soldiers and innocent civilians die...). Obama had the gall to say, "Well,, this deal will just delay nuclear weaponization for a decade or so." Really? THEN what's the plan, asshole? And the Iranians wouldn't even let inspectors on to military bases!

There's only one reason why Hussein & Co. didn't do what Trump is doing: racketeering. Exactly the sort of thing RICO is for: going after organized crime. And since this was an American enemy, there are treason laws on the books, too.

I hope so, my grand parents went there in the 50s and said it was nice, beautiful gardens, the best tailored modern fashions/ original designs- not knock offs. My Grandmother is convinced that if that country had not fallen in the 1970s, it would be the fashion capital and Paris and Milan would be a close second and third.

I'll believe it when I see it start. I'll even send Bitcoin to help fund it.
