#1 There is nothing Nation Building can't do---turning Iraq back into Iranian province after 1300 years hiatus is small potatoes.

#2 Iran, Africa, and much of the Middle East represent a culmination of the failure of the people to develop the attitudes and institutions favorable to peace and progress. Factional fighting and tribalism in many of these regions is as old as the sands and the paintings of the Blombos caves.

This idea of Nation Building and that democratic impulse is universal, and a democratic heart throbs in every thorax is a feckless, arrogant, and imposing notion.

It was not for nothing that Saddam fought Iran. When dictatorial kleptomaniacs war against each other, we should put on the Orville Redenbacher and enjoy a cold adult beverage.
