Keep your friends close and enemies closer
ultimately, though it sounds crazy, I think Iran is a much more rational, secular country then it is thought to be. Certainly, it's no worse then Saudi Arabia, who through Wahabiism, has created the modern terrorist. No 9/11 hijackers came from Iran etc... Though I do think iran is crazy, and certainly the largest state sponsor of terror, it would benefit us greatly to try and bring them into our sphere of influence and use them to disrupt our real strategic enemies of Russia and china. Keep your friends close ... then again, i dont really know what im talking about.
