    Re: US Foreign Policy: The Wogs Begin at Calais

    Oh, great.

    Iran has accused Saudi-led coalition warplanes of damaging its embassy and injuring staff in an air strike on Yemen's capital, Sanaa. State media quoted a foreign ministry spokesman as saying planes had deliberately targeted the site. But some later reports in Iran said missiles had struck only in the vicinity of the embassy.

      Doesn't one of then either a) have to go through Iraq? or b) go across the Gulf?

      I mean I understand not wanting instability and all but what can they really do to each other?

        Are there people that still believe our "alliance" with Saudi is more stable than one would be with Iran?

        And this is a question I would have asked without flinching well before this current kerfuffle.

          Yeah and with Saddam as the secular Islamic state acting as a buffer between the two, it kept the lid on the genie. Now with the strongman long in his grave, there is a mell of a hess.

            Both countries support terrorism, and each is a power center in the Sunni-Shia struggle. They don't even need a hot war to do incredible damage to the oil market and the global economy.

                  Especially when stories consistently show that a majority of Iranians hold a guardedly positive view of the US.

                  And that Iran is consistently the most liberal Islamic country when it comes to women's rights (they can vote, drive, and attend college - three things they can't do under many other Islamic regimes).

                    So as I understand it the seismic data show that the N. Korea test was not an H-bomb, but a virtual duplicate of the same test they've been running for 10 years or so. What was interesting was hearing that it's not unlikely that the generals have convinced Dear Leader that it actually was an H-bomb, and that he's now an even more dominant world leader than ever (in fear of the consequences of telling him the truth). What a country.
                    Interesting travelogues (but turn on all common sense filters when reading anything about N. Korea and what is allowed to be photographed on a guided tour)

                      It's a good thing anyway; it gets us off the stuff faster.

                          One of the weirdest parts of living in the DC area is I personally know 2 different people in Ouagadougou who are there for unrelated reasons. Also one in Kilgali (where?).
