And I must tread real cautiously here. I still remember 1979
and that still holds much water in how we should view Iran, nor do I say we
should elevate them in world politics.
Yet I think we should start taking a neutral stand when it
comes to the House of Saud and Iran. We need to maintain a strong presence in
the region for many security reasons, yet we do need to make some overtures to
Iran for a variety of reasons. They need
to come back and offer something in return for what happened in 1979 and I
doubt they will offer much if anything, yet we need to open that door. I know
Israel will not be happy, yet in the long run this may benefit Israel. There is
some delicacy needed here.
The House of Saud takes us for granted. I am not saying
break relations, but they need to change some of their ways and we cannot continue
to turn a blind eye to the House of Saud in how they treat their people just to
have their oil.
It is time to start changing the geopolitical landscape a
bit and make sure we know who are allies versus who is taking advantage of us
because of our self-interest.
And this post is some foreshadowing to what a person might
learn when I get back to my story. The story though is fiction; this post is to
get people thinking.
