American journalists live in a parallel universe. The nuclear negotiators even more so. How can these Shi’a- Islam –Twelver-
ignoramuses journalists and diplomats write about or negotiate with people whose beliefs they
have never bothered to study? These are not the times of the Policy
Planning Staff days when George Kennan knew more about the Russians than anybody
in the US. Ashton
and Kerry are blind as a bat to what the Iranians believe in.
