Iran is a Republican Problem

[gulliver]

11. I'm not sure.

I think a balkanized Iran is better for the world and Israel. Most of the people of Iran appear to be rejecting the whole concept of Islamic-flavored, arch-conservative theocracy. I don't think we need theocracy of any kind, but especially not arch-conservative and proudly, cruelly bigoted theocracy like the Islamic Republic.

No one who cares about human beings can fail to despise the Islamic Republic. If most of Iran is freed, and the other part continues to be under (drastically weakened) theocratic, arch-conservative control, I think that's an improvement. It's good for Israel and for the rest of the world. Billions of people.

(There might be some people who are inclined to think that if something is good for Israel it's automatically not good for the rest of the world. Hopefully very few people think that. It's just dumb.)
