Wothy of a post

Well, I haven't posted in ages. I suppose mostly due to discontent with our current political discourse and not having really much to add -- in a positive manner-- to it. Still reading blogs, as always.

I read something today that I find not only interesting, but monumentally important and wanted to share.

Money quote:

But I would like to give pause to all those who imagine that Iran is a place of undifferentiated evil, malice, oppression, and fanaticism, or our natural and rightful enemy. There is hope there. The difficult question is how best we might nurture it.

Hopefully, not at the end of a gun. Please read the whole thing.
