Did you know that US SOF forces along with the Northern Alliance during Operation Enduring Freedom did a Cavalry Charge against the Taliban? The SECDEF called their attacks the 1st US cavalry charge of the 21st century.



one of the troops involved wrote a book about it...

Imo Iran is alright North Korea is another story.

I've a feeling they will befriend US sooner or later . . . . .
They're not as bad as some people would imagine.


Their urban young are idealistic, patriotic, modern and friendly to the west!
Great things could come to Iran if their elite are willing to allow change bit by bit.

Of course Israel would want the world to believe otherwise.

I have a lot of sympathy for those youth but the educated urban young are not he majority.
If they were, Iran would be the natural friend to the west in the region.
Persia was lost when the Arabs invaded and destroyed Zoroastrianism and the great culture it represented.

The rural population also don't hold any grudge or animosity towards the west in general.

In my opinion relation between US and Iran will get warmer in the short or medium future.

Give it ten years to see if this opinion is true or otherwise

Iran population is unlike Iraq really. Iraqis had been subjugated through intimidation by Saddam dictatorship for decades and lost the ability for critical thinking. Iran's population is in far better situation.

I have opinion why Iran is doing what it is doing or raving what it is raving and .....(I better keep this opinion to myself)...the signs are good I just want to say that
