Comment on The Belmont Club,"Iran"

An illegitimate regime elected on a basis of theatrics, subterfuge, corruption and fraud in Iran and dedicated to Messianic fantasies that promote poverty and violence will now ratchet up its challenges to the thousand year long developed, at the cost of great blood and treasure, Western system of individual liberty and dignity and scientific rationality. It does this at the same time that the bulwark of Western civilization is itself crumbling having fallen under the sway of a regime elected on a basis of theatrics, subterfuge, corruption and fraud in America and dedicated to Messianic fantasies that promote poverty and violence.

Marcos was less dangerous because he was less pretentious. He was a straight forward old fashioned thief.
