Queries for the Ambassador:

1. Sir, is the average Israeli citizen as ignorant as the average American citizen of what Ruhollah Komeini actually wrote in his philosophy of the ‘learned jurisprudent’?

2. Does anyone in the Israeli government know if either Mr. Obama or Mrs. Clinton have ever read all of the Ayatollah Khomeini’s written works?

3. Is page 510 of Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’ pertinent to understanding jihadism’s anti-Israel and anti-American positions?

4. In your opinion, what statesman of today can match Churchill’s warnings about absolutist puritans in a ‘war ideology’?

5. Is early 20C Italian and German history being repeated in the early 21C Iran?

6. The form of governance in Iran today is millennialist, revivalist, absolutist, determinist, adopted a form of stasis as idealism, and has ‘purity’ as the moral glue which binds the society together, all this in an ‘honor/shame’ sociology, the sociology of a warrior code. The last such form of governance is called, ‘Fascism.’ What are his opinions?

7. If Hitler had nuclear arms, would his ideo/theology of Nazism resulted in using them at the London blitz, the beaches of Normandy, the evacuation of Dunkirk, the retreat from Paris, or at the battle of Stalingrad?

8. When does blunt talk replace diplomatic niceties? Before, or after, an incineration?
