One Response to “Iran: The Deal That Got Away”

   It’s so painfully depressing to see this constant stream of arrogant and destructive behaviour that’s been happening since 2001. So much of this could have been avoided, all of the potential good that could have come the 9/11 tragedy in fostering new support to stop terrorism and finally address important issues in the Middle East, were met with a sledgehammer and patriotic songs.

   The world would definitely have been a very different place had Bush not been elected, and progressives everywhere should use him to constantly point out that this kind of leadership, in any country, isn’t just ineffective, but antagonistic to every problem. Ideologically driven, inflexible in every position, the use of force as the first option instead of last, wilfully ignorant of the outside world, and enough self confidence in their own abilities to think of a civil war as a birth pain and his personal lawyer as a supreme court judge.
