Good post. The only thing I'd like to mention is that those same problems have been around for a long, long, long time.

I remember doing nuclear blast drills in school, Teheran hostages, 747's falling from the sky, beirut marines and trade center parking deck explosions to name a few.

I think the "current" administration also includes congress.

I remember when Iran was a friend and ally to the West.
