    I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

      As far as I know, none of them are serious threats to the United States.

      I do consider Iran to be.

                    I used an old mac with 9.1 at school yesterday. I kept instinctively moving my mouse to the screen corner to activate Exposé and wondering why nothing was happening.

                      That's it exactly. We're not going to invade Mexico or other Latin American countries. With a completely hard-line Iran that won't back down to the U.S., it worries me that we might fight a war there. Not today, not tomorrow, but sometime down the line.

                      It could happen.

                          its not the non-kowtowing that bothers me. its what the non-kowtowing might lead to on this side

                          don't think I'm huddled up in a corner, though. i'm just a bit concerned, that's all. anyone who is hard-line in anything i'm usually wary of.

                            What surprised me is that Rafsanjani was characterized as a moderate. I saw the election as a lose-lose proposition for America.

                              I don't like where this is going.
                              Actually this one of the occasions where it is right to blame Bush! If he hadn't opened his yap right before the election, he wouldn't have galvanized the hardliners, and we may have seen a runoff with Rafsanjani and Moin instead.
