We needed a rest from that topic. People were saying the same damn thing over & over, me included, at higher levels of intensity but with no minds changed or intellectual progress made. If people want to discuss the likelihood of a U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran, or what the motives of the various actors are, that's fine with me. Just no domestic Iranian politics for now. This is the third list that YF has left because of a moratorium on discussing domestic Iranian politics. Evidently she's tried the patience of others besides me.
