The Pentagon chief’s Iran-war press briefings are absurd, maybe even more so than Saturday Night Live’s parodies of them Unless you’re a journalist covering national defense, the Pentagon’s daily press briefing probably isn’t your idea of must-watch television. It’s usually a mess of jargon-riddled questions and answers between the press and the unfortunate spokesperson tasked with explaining the Defense Department’s actions.

If the world was controlled by a secret group of people who plan and plot behind the scenes how events unfold, it would be too easy. All we’d have to do is find out who these people are and get rid of them. Unfortunately, it is not that simple.

My deepest sympathies lie with the Iranian people, whose hearts are torn in many directions. Many long for freedom and dignity, yet they remain wary of the long history of Western imperial intervention across the world, including their own country.The Iranian people who took to the streets in recent years did not call for one form of domination to replace another.
