In short, they don't want to see peace made between Israel and any other country/people in the Middle East because, in doing so, it makes it harder for them to achieve their goals.

(There does exist some rational people in Iran's government, believe it or not, but they are highly marginalized since they are a minority.)



Dubai is booming right now.
I don't know what their goals are, but if it is supporting terrorism, oh well. Interesting quotes I saw about Khomeini's statements. Would you say that he so very irrational? I've always labeled the Iranians, during Khomeini's time, as "Khomeini's Children", as is if he was like their messiah and he chose his people to be his disciples.
