I tend to think like a novelist–so, for instance, not only do I still think Sadaam had WMDs, I think it’s about the only thing he lived for. I just don’t think it’s feasible for an evil dictator to be obsessed with, say, orchids. (In Hollywood this would be considered a brilliant portrayal against character.) No, if you’re an evil dictator you get up in the morning thinking about how to accumulate power, how to eliminate your many enemies, and how to apply new technology to terrorize your populace. And you think about this all day while staring at your portraits in the public square and watching the news about how saintly you are.
Regarding Iran. Of course they have sleeper cells in the US. They are now and have been since 1979, unfortunately, a highly skilled terrorist organization. They have shown over and over that they can do pretty much whatever they want and suffer no consequences. They are expert strategists, and they are astute analysts of the psychology and traits of their enemies. They would be incompetent if they didn’t have US sleepers. They’re anything but incompetent.
It’s like asking whether Barry Bonds will be holding a baseball bat the next time he comes to plate during a regular season game.
