i'd have to say that what iran needs now is a few bombing runs on...theocratic targets.

tyrants might yap allah, the race, dialectical materialism, or even (dick cheney) freedom. but they all love a good coerced confession, and are the only people who believe such a thing, being entirely unable to disinguish reality from appearance. this confusion begins with the question of who they themselves are and why they're doing what they're doing. as caligula would say, i wish they all had one neck, from which we might disattach the head.
