Girls were wearing mini skirts, everybody's hot. You seen that video from the 70s of Iran? Yeah, bro, Everybody looked. What happened is slowly but surely and quickly at first.

Well, that's when Hezbollah started, right? I don't know exactly when Hezbollah started. But the point is the country was doing fine before we monkeyed with it. (20:18–20:33)
