A very unique form of Anti-Colonial War. Thanks for planting an idea!

It's not their faith in a 'prophet' causing the problem with Iran.

It's our faith in 'profit' as a guiding principle for decision making.

We are all forced to be part of the worship of profit and the religion of money, willingly or not.

Professor Wolff states it differently than I would, but here he offers the most clear and concise explanation of the real problem in Iran, and indeed, the entire Middle East.

The country that controls the oil trade and trade routes controls the world.

Why is Wolff so certain that the old way is over? Aren't there any Iranians who would sell out in return for wealth and power? Couldn't trump make Iran a territory and control the country? Doesn't the strait only carry a minority of the global supply of these resources? Aren't there other avenues that could be opened, by pipeline or rail? Isn't the world moving away from fossile fuels anyway? Isn't the current paradigm temporary (as always)?

Absolutely love the Iran LEGO videos. They show they are more aware of what's going on historically and in the present than most Americans.
