Unintended Consequences (Iran and Iraq)
Quote | Reply
Long article in the NYT discussing how the US invasion of Iraq has worked out for Iran. Summed up with the following quote.

"“Iran is smarter than America,” said Nijat al-Taie, a Sunni member of the provincial council and an outspoken critic of Iran, which she calls the instigator of several assassination attempts against her. “They achieved their goals on the ground. America didn’t protect Iraq. They just toppled the regime and handed the country over to Iran.”"

"Human existence is based upon two pillars: Compassion and knowledge. Compassion without knowledge is ineffective; Knowledge without compassion is inhuman." Victor Weisskopf.

Unintended, but certainly not unpredictable.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.
