And I can only point fingers so far, insofar as our own elections have at least the appearance of impropriety at times, if not outright dodgy. (2000/selection, for example)

Iran can have a nuke if they want. Maybe it'll make us think twice about continuing to fuck with them left and right.

(And the timing of this report is highly suspicious, what with Saudi Arabia kicking over furniture about us making DIPLOMATIC progress with Iran.)
