Thank you mzk1.

The other guys don’t think the way we do. The Islamofascist men ruling Iran are NOT modern men like you, Dwight or I. They are more like non-rational players more akin to pre-modern men of Antiquity. They live in an intensely sacralized world with a strong eschatological sense. Something Objectivists seem to be clueless about. The Islamofascist men ruling Iran are much more like Simon Bar Kokhba or the Sicarii at Massada. Like Simon Bar Kokhba and the Sicarii at Massada they just will not behave in accord with our modern secular sensibilities. Yet far too enough Objectivists and Libertarians insist that risk or lives on the dangerous presumption that the Shaii Twelvers ruling Iran will act like Connecticut Episcopalians.
