Who, the Iranians? Which ones are fanatics?
I'll grant there are some fanatics left in Iran, but Iran seems increasingly dominated by fairly sleezy clergy/judges. Like any government, theirs is deteriorating into a mere racket. And if you ask me, fanaticism never lasts very long anywhere, only for about a generation during turbulent times. Iran in particular is a special case...seems to me their cultural momentum will always outweigh any temporary fanaticism. A country that has a small but thriving prostitution industry can't be all that fanatical.

They are fanatics. They expect to get a six pack of virgins. And they will say "Hey, it was not us, it was these terrorists who happen to have somehow stolen some nukes from persons unknown. We are completely opposed to terrorism, and are fully cooperating with foreign investigations."
