We do way more business with Iran than ever shows up in the headlines. There is only one
country in the world with whom they won't do business, and that's Israel. The Iranian island
resort of Kish is like one huge Hong Kong. Anyone and anything goes there, and that's by
design. You want to have some headlined talk with an Iranian official? Do it at the UN General
Assembly. You want it done in private with no TV cameras? Go to Kish. Know who has a house
there? Dick Fucking Cheney, that's who. You won't see that one in the Wall Street Journal. We
won't be attacking them except if the whole world network of communication channels breaks
down completely, or if AhmadiNejad manages to stage an internal coup and kills every single one
of the government guys who thinks he's nuts, and that's a lot of them.
