8. I've been saying for years we'd be better off with Iran as an ally instead of an enemy.

The young people are very pro-Western in their outlook; they are not religious fanatics, and they disdain the ruling ayatollahs.

I have a friend who is a musician in Iran. He is actually notable for having published the first English-language album of popular music in Iran by an Iranian musician. He had to get special permission from the government to do it. He has sinced released a second album, and is working on a third. He is the nicest, friendliest guy in the world. and if all those "bomb Iran" people in the US could talk with him, I think they'd be very ashamed of themselves for their unthinking bloodlust.
