I hear they are building toilets in Iran and teaching Iranians toilet manners. That is what you call "civilizational buddies".
Countries like people are not islands unto themselves and have to work or ally with others in a chaotic world. My referance to Indian lack of gonads is based on how India acts. 70 years after having been given Kashmir by the Maharaja India still has not managed to take back the 1/4 that was snatched by Pakistan. Indeed it is the original aggressor who still entertains ambition of grabbing the other 3/4. This from a country that is nearly 7 times larger then Pakistan. When is India going to act it's size?
