We might be able to apprehend the hands, but not the brains behind it. This is the problem. The brain keeps working somewhere else.

If you promote American policy in the region, you will completely lose your audience. Their credibility isn't with an American audience, it's in the Arab world.

The banner flying over the region is one of instability and uncertainty.

There will be no (future) change in Gulf policy towards the U.S., and with the Iran and Iraq crises I believe they will more openly attach themselves to the United States.

Security just isn't good enough to cope in Iraq. Until it improves, we'll keep on seeing these very high death tolls from suicide bombings.

The man is still living in 1979 and believes Iran represents a revolution more than just a state. He believes (verbally) attacking Israel, which was a key principal of the revolution, will serve Iranian interests in the region more than polite, rational policies.

It's just been a dead end.

I think a video would have far more credibility ... the fact that it's only audio possibly confirms rather than reduces the speculation.

They (Americans) gave Iraq to Iran on a gold plate free of charge. They did what Khomeini failed to achieve. He must be celebrating in his grave, thanking the Americans.
