Very interesting interview.

by amirparvizforsecularmonarchy on

This guy studied under samuel huntingdon, who formulated the usa policy that caused the usa to betray the shah and iranians, he later explained his poltics in his infamous book, clash of civilizations.  The strategy of using fundamentalist mullahs to turn the middle east and particularly iran into Africa slowly over 100 years.  They succeeded with their neo-colonialism and based on this interview looks like they have no intention of changing their plans, since their interests have not changed.

An excellent and realist conversation

I really enjoyed and found it very educational.

One area that I would have like to see more discussion of, was the role and responsibility of "nuclear nations" in creating an atmosphere and perhaps incentives for non-nuclear nation to move to acquire the status of a nuclear nation.

It was briefly touched on at the very end, but I believe it merits more attention, discussion and acceptance of that responsibility.
