New Super Powers, if not militarily, influencially

Since 1953 when the CIA, under the direction of President Dwight David Eisenhower, removed a legally elected Prime Minister and replaced him with a despotic dictator, something funny happened. Iran became a super power at least in the Middle East. Yes, those same crazies who forced our man, the Shah, to run for his life: those crazies who held our citizens prisoner for 445 days or so, those crazies who could not defeat the Iraqi despotic dictator and his crazies. They are now a super power to be dealt with. The United States must see Iran differently than we saw them in the past. They are no longer a bunch of cleric lead radicals they have to be seen as equals and possibly our superiors, at least in the Middle East। In their part of the world their military leaders have better strategies than ours do.

In our weakened condition, financially, militarily, and diplomatically the United States must see the world as it is not how it was. That includes changing the way we see Iran and our former enemy / ally / super rich antagonist, Russia।

The United States must understand the way things are and act accordingly and maybe, just maybe we can earn back our seat at the table of world events।

McCain, Obama does not matter। What can either do to harm our country more than George W Bush has already done and what can be more terrifying than Nancy Pelosi third in line to be President?
