“In the United States, Iran is nothing but a whipping-boy. Few Americans have any real use for Iran. Most of us, what we know and remember about Iran are things like the hostage crisis in 1980, or they think about the Iranian attacks in Lebanon, or on the Khobar Towers.

He ne're shall find, who will not lose; Who sinks from self, shall gain repose, Which none but he can know.”
