    Лучшая цитата из Going to Tehran by Flynt Leverett: Iran-US Relations Analysis

    “

    The United States is currently sleepwalking toward a disaster because it refuses to come to terms with Iran as it actually is, rather than how we wish it to be. We must decide if we can separate our moral disapproval from our strategic necessity to forestall a catastrophe that could dwarf the Iraq debacle.
