Stalin was rational in the sense that suicide was not an option for him or his nation. Nor is it in ours as well. But to state that the Mullahs’ irrationality is equal, in some way, to Stalin is a ridiculous assumption.

Communists don’t want to die. There’s nothing in it for them but the blackness of eternity.

Shaheeds do want to die. Glorious and erotic rewards await the faithful. You don’t need political officers holding pistols at their backs to make them fight for Allah.

I believe it is time to tell the Mullahs and the Russians that we are going to do the missile defense system and that if they don’t like it they can take their sustenance from the lower echelons of the outhouse.
