11. Afraid to say this, but I do think Iran could be a future threat. I'm not
saying I want Mr. Idiot to start a war with them. Unless they are totally bullpooping us about the leader whose name I can't pronounce, I do think it's possible that the people behind this guy are crazy enough to sell or use a nuclear weapon if they get a few. Even though I think that all of that is possible, I have to admit I don't have any answers for what to do about it.

My gut does tell me that Iran is possibly a much bigger threat than North Korea. But, hell, if we got hit by something catastrophic in this category I'm beginning to wonder if we would ever know who was actually behind doing it. By that, I mean what faction or group or state. It's also possible that Israel would be hit first. I know the word is that Iran's leader believes he's an "end of times" guy and that Iran being destroyed just sends them all to Islamic heaven. I've worried about this scenario since the '80's.

I don't know. Iran does scare me. All I do know is that I would very much prefer to have a Democratic President and a Democratic Congress handling the situation. These psychotic faux cowboys have got to go.
