re: #229 MandyManners

How fucking clueless can any one human be?

Mandy, I’d never accuse anyone of being clueless about a issue we know so little about yet. I agreed that it is not a good sign, but it’s very early to know what the official Iranian position is.
Assume we reverse the position and a Senator makes a comment at a Evangelical conference that Islam is our real enemy. Iran takes that and uses it to say the official US position is against Islam.
The guy from Iran might well be repeating the official position, but diplomats do not jump to that conclusion in a split second without more information.
If you think I’m clueless about the nuances of diplomacy, so be it, but I’ll give it a few days.
