Iran's fear of the USA
Anyone know what this is?
There is a part of Iran that is scared of USA,
There is a part of Iran that is scared of USA,
and another part that is disparaging self contemptous on the other hand.
I've spoke to this paradigm before.
and will take another run at it.
When I was in Morocco I discovered
the seminal seed of that paradigm.
In the Bazaar its expected that you
will haggle, not because its fun,
but because it produces more
income for the seller.
I noticed in the bazaar the merchant
became irritated when I accepted
and paid what he ask without any
haggling.
At first it seemed a cultural hickup
it just didn't make sense. Do they
really like to haggle that much?
Is that their idea of fun?
And I think the same context is going
on between Iran and the USA and its
becoming even more problematic.
Iran doesn't trust the USA and from
their stand point and culture they have
good reason.
The reason the merchant gets upset
when you don't haggle, and he isn't angry with
you but angry at himself, self loathing, but
very intermittent and short lived but
real.
He is upset because he could have asked
the dumb rich American 100% more for the
Item or maybe even 500% more.
You didn't haggle the upper range of
what you would pay remains unknown,
His price was to low, he could have asked
for more, he can't know because you didn't refuse
the price or haggle. If you don't haggle its
an insult to him because he was bested,
He got less than the Maximum you would pay.
And You bought his merchandise for less than
the top price you were willing to pay. That makes
you the winner in this little transaction.
I hope that makes sense.
Iran is running with the same paradigm
in similar context.
Iran seized the American Embassy and held
300 Americans hostage for 400 days.
And hardly anything happened,
They could have done more, gone further
before anything happened.
The didn't get a feeling for the USA's upper
level of tolerance is.
And this context has been repeating its self
for 20 yrs with USA and Iran.
Sending IEDs to Afpak,
nothing happened.
Sending batteries to Afgha
for the old sholder fired missles.
Nothing happened.
Stole the Iranian election,
Nothing happened.
Building a nuclear weapon,
and so far nothing has happened.
And thats where they get scared.
Would USA get so upset, fed up that it SNAPPED
and pull an Hiroshima in Iran?
After every thing Iran has done to provoke
USA they haven't been able to come up
with any thing that is so far out that it
has elicited an Military response from USA.
Its almost like a teenager, you can't hit or
spank them, no physical punishment.
We let them get away with everything,
Untill they kill someone then we try them
like an adult, Hiroshima their little asses.
Send the kids to prision for life.
Iran doesn't want to trip that paradigm.
And USA does have it.
Iran doesn't want to trip that paradigm.
And USA does have it.
USA needs a military response to some
Iranian action, to show we won't crush
them like a bug.
That we respect them and will take disciplinarian
actions that are in kind and reasonable.
By setting limits and acting we establish boundaries
Iran will understand, not saying they will respect those
boundaries, but they will know where they are.
They can see the trip wire, they know where it is,
this also reduces the fear of accidentally tripping
a crush Iran trip wire.
Somebody did hit one of the USA's trip wires.
His name is Bin Laden. And how many places
did he blow up before we took him seriously?
And this will help reduce the FEAR,
and real boundaries to work on without
Iranian Regime being so frightened
that they feel they need Nukes to defend
against USA.
It over simplified, and not exact but the ideas
and hypothesis are all there.
