The author ridicules US political operatives and the directors in their mad pursuit of bringing Iran to its knees. They seem stuck in neoconservative policies which produced the Iraq disaster.
In my opinion, they seem unable to face a deteriorating dominance that they have taken for granted since WWII. They remind me of the Nazi high command which saw Western capitalist countries cater to their every whim, giving them one country after another, until the Nazis began to see themselves as invincible. Instead of merely going east to attack the Soviet Union as was hoped by Western elites, they rolled their Panzers into Western European countries and sent bombing raids against Britain. Although I don't expect that a major war to break out over this Iranian obsession, Empire directors are playing a very risky game.
