  • We in Europe have a history spanning thousands of years, so we can be generous with it. We all have learned our lessons, and the point that keeping a grouch is pointless is one of them. The US has, in comparison, basically no history, so they kling to what they have.

    I remember a couple of American tourists getting off a tourist ship in Cologne. Them, having no clue where they were, they asked "What is this building?", and we told them that this is the Cologne Cathedral, and it is 750 years old (yes, this was a few years ago). Their reply: "No building can be that old!"...

  • "spans" like in the conceitet "grandeur" of the French language. There are a handful of small places that are still colonies spread around the globe just because they had not had the drive to kick the French out. It is more "sprinkels" than "spans"...

  • The Iranians would have been terminally stupid if they hadn't moved out anything that's not bolted down (and even some that is) from the known locations in the days before the attacks. The IDF was openly demanding the US to bomb those sites, so they knew they were in the crosshairs. And if the only wrapped it up and buried the stuff in the sand somewhere.

    The US might have damaged the location, but believing they had in any significant form damaged the program is moot. On the contrary, Iran now has the irrefutable proof that the US does not care even about their own secret services report that Iran had given up (or at least was not actively working on) on the bomb. Now they have the incentive to actually build it so they can use it as a deterrent and if needed, in self-defence.
