Common Ground

Finally, the US and Iran have found something they can agree on!

You know, we've been on the other side of the table from Iran a lot in the recent past. We invaded Iraq, and Iran opposed it. Now that we're trying to stabalize Iraq, Iran has decided to send spies and explosives to Shia groups. The US supports Israel's right to exist; Iran supports their own right to destroy it.

Talk about po-tay-to and po-tah-to! Iran even thunders about its right to possess nuclear weapons while the US opposes autocratic, brutal theocracies having nukes (ourselves excepted of course).

On one subject, however, Iran and the US speak with a united voice: ban the queers from speaking at the UN. As an American, I'm glad to see the US standing shoulder to shoulder in solidarity with elightened regimes like China, Cuba, Sudan and Zimbabwe in muzzling the voices of almost half a billion people worldwide.

Perhaps now we can start talks on eliminating women's rights, and overturning centuries of scientific progress?

Oh wait - as in so many things, the US government is ahead in those fields, too.
