No principles!

If it was not because of the animosity toward the reform movement and the will of nation, the conservative faction had reestablished the relation with U.S. long time ago. They are ready to do anything except submission to people and nation. For the time being name of U.S. is like a no good sticker they put on reformers' front to punch them out of the ring. But when they are done U.S. is going to be enough friendly and charming to have romance with in public. Look at Ayatollah Hakim. He has submitted quietly like a good boy to fellow American soldiers. Badr devision are going to give up their arms and I am sure after some time they will keep quiet completely. As long as they can do Ashura and Tasua and they get Khoms and Zekat and they have general population under control, life is beautiful.
Something like national interest does not exist in their dictionaries.
