Sayeth James:
“What if the mullahs fall before, say, September? The second anniversary of 9/11 would be marked by much general astonishment at what OBL et al began. Two years, three countries. Syria would have its come-to-Issa moment. Kim Il Jong would have to switch to extra-absorbent Depends, since he would probably be wetting himself anew each time he turned on CNN.”
(By the way, he also talks about Brian Eno & David Byrne’s My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, which is always a good idea.)
