[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [qb]And, indeed, there is an effort there to overcome the ayatollahs and the theocracy. But does Bush get together with Khatami or whoever and try to work out a way to strengthen the secular (albeit loosely so, as anything over there) part of the government? No. Because, in Bush's mind, countries are either "good" or "evil". And he's already explicitly stated that he thinks Iran is "evil". [/qb][/QUOTE]Which to me shows the fallacy of such a worldview. TReating a country as a monolithic whole strikes me as simpleminded. If our government had any sense, we would be establishing communications with the moderates over there and giving support to them. Such a policy would be more effective in dealing with radical governments than brute force. [/QB][/QUOTE]
