Iran/Laws

I heard an interesting quote the other day from Robin Wright of the Post.  She said if you want to know what Persian pride is like, take a Texan and add 5,000 years of history.  I think that brings it home for a lot of us.

I also was thinking about the old John Marshall line that the US is a “government of laws and not men.”  I think that’s partially true, but not tenable over the long term obviously.  It’s very similar to the old Churchill quote that we shape our cities and thereafter they shape us.
