The Devil We Know: Dealing with the New Iranian Superpower
Posted by Viola Woolcott
Robert Baer, an ex–CIA operative masterfully shows how Iran has maneuvered itself into the elite superpower ranks.
Baer exploites the Americans’ “false” perceptions of what Iran is. We are made to believe it is a country run by scowling religious fanatics, too occupied with what is going on with theocratic jostling and terrorist agendas to strengthen its political and economic foundations.
Very interesting read.
