but it is self-evident that the government of iran is not monolithic either.
if you want to talk about iran, then let's talk about iran. there's no need for the Giant Framework---i mean to even get to this yourself, otto, you have had to push through the language of your own post (no. 22 i think)

so on the one hand, we have this term "radical islam"...which i personally think useless, but which we can i suspect agree to disagree about and still shift the discussion.

and i think there is an interesting conversation to be had about iran, too.

i am not sure if starting a different thread would be better or if it would work jsut as well to collectively push reset on this one and redirect it. that means leaving 22 and the discussion it engendered behind at this point and refocussing on iran.



i am busy with other stuff at the moment, so will leave it to you, otto, if you dont mind, to choose how we go about this.

btw: this is just a suggestion--i am not trying to shut down anything, more looking for a bit more frame clarity so we can have a different kind of debate/discussion.
