you wouldn't ace. in your world, that'd be an indication of weakness. but i expect you know nothing about the shah. and if you know nothing about his regime, you wouldn't understand the first thing about the revolution, or about how the united states came to be positioned because of that. so you wouldn't understand anything.
but that's all in the past--context---it's not the central point of the move. the central point is that modulating the american posture toward iran undercuts both the rationale for pursuing nuclear weapons--assuming the program exists--and weakens ahmandijan's administration by taking out one of the main rationales that he's exploited to remain in power. but the fact is that he doesn't run the show, he doesn't set nuclear policy--kahmeni and his circle does--and that circle has been consistently FAR more moderate than has the president. so there's every reason to modify the bush people's approach to iran.
but to see that, you'd have to have some idea of what you're talking about.
you've been fed a particularly simple-minded line of horseshit about this for a long time. and you seem kinda addicted to it. maybe it's the simplicity of excluding information---i dunno. but if i were you, i'd consider detox.
