"Introduction down! Very well-written so far and I'm excited to see where it goes next. Summarises the mainstream view -- that Iran is a modern nation-state that sees resistance to America as vital to its security.

Also, the notion among leadership that pressure from America will increase the closer Iran gets to its goals does not bode particularly well for a lasting peace deal."

Graham Greene
“Time has its revenges, but revenge seems so often sour. Wouldn’t we all do better not trying to understand, accepting the fact that no human being will ever understand another, not a wife with a husband, nor a parent a child? Perhaps that’s why men have invented God – a being capable of understanding. ”
Graham Greene, The Quiet American
