They plan to ignite the world in preparation for the 12th Imam.

I think this is an "overhype," Derek. Barnett's attitude is approach them on the basis that they can be worked with. If we are totally hostile it increases the chances that the nuts may control.

The only way we invade is if Iran does set off a nuke. Short of that, we can raid. But if the raid fails, it increases the chances that they will nuke.

Quite a conundrum.

How does possessing, or detonating, a nuclear bomb "ignite the world"?

What makes you think that the US and Iran are in a "30 year contest"?

What about the 1953 CIA-backed coup against Mossadegh? Why not "53 year contest"?

And what are they going to do when the 12th Imam doesn't show?
