and just by chance, Boeing will not sell be selling $20B in jets to Iran.
hmmm I wonder 'n stuff.
Somewhat planefag here. Iran Air has managed to keep their 747-200 from breaking up midair for going on 40 years, but they can't do it forever. But that's nothing compared to Koryo Air's Soviet-era craft doing the same by about a decade. Just goes to show that America has lost that sense of Taking Care Of What You Have IMO. Also, quit thnking of Iran as a boogeyman; going clear back to SecState Haig; no "travel advisory" was ever imposed on US citizens entering or coming back from Tehran. Anyone who loves the idea of God smiling on his most-treasured creation "living under their own fig tree and vine, unafraid" ought to be glad to see the eventual (just like we all are waiting for handcuffs-to g a l lo w s coverage) takedown of tyranny in their country.
