Understanding the situation in Iran (a quiz)
by Mickey Z.
 In order to take seriously the mainstream media/political talk about Iran (elections, nuclear ambitions, etc.), you have to first pretend which of the following:
A) The US didn’t overthrow Mossadegh in 1953
B) Israel doesn’t possess nuclear weapons
C) Iran doesn’t possess the world’s third largest oil reserves
D) The US actually wants to promote democracy at home and abroad
E) You forgot that the only nation to ever use nuclear weapons is America
F) All of the above
(Answer: F)
If you can partake in all that pretending, well...the current hoopla will make a whole lot of sense to you.
