I wish I could travel there without fear of persecution or imprisonment by their government. Maybe someday. Beautiful country with a large, well-educated and often Western-leaning younger generation stuck with the rulership of fundamentalist mullahs and nationalist hardliners. We need to pay more attention to the current protests in Iran, which could be a turning points. 2 Link to comment

We have missiles that can reach that height and shoot it down. But that comes with risks: if the missile hits where does the debris come down or if the missile misses where does the missile come down. 1 Link to comment

Rage fills a hole in my otherwise vacuous existence. 1 Link to comment
