<< Well, part of being human is to try to figure out why. >>

One of many parts. You give it too much importance.

<< People who simply be are more like chimps than humans >>

Strange dichotomy. Either one is consumed with "why", or they are a chimp. I am not totally disagreeing with you. Like most, I have spent much time pondering life, and wondering why the Earth is the only planet that may have intelligent life. But, life is to enjoyed, whether that enjoyment is your work, your hobby, your family, your religion, or discussing how many virgins every living being is promised in the afterlife.

But.... getting back on topic, I feel that Iran would be an excellent clandestine target for our war against terrorism. The people seem to be more pro-western and pro-reformist, than ever. There is a moderate government in place, except for the Hard-liners. If we could, somehow, rid Iran of the Hard-liners, it would have a huge impact against terrorism.
