Whether they regard me as an ally is another question. But I regard anyone willing to do that as an ally, both for moral reasons, it's my religion, but also for practical reasons. The only reason that we bombed, ineffectively bombed, the nuclear sites in Iran is because no one ever acknowledged that Iraq was a mistake, Libya was a mistake. Afghanistan, the 20 year occupation was a mistake. having nothing to do with how we withdrew. We shouldn't have been there for 20 years. It was all a mistake and nobody ever admitted it, much less took responsibility, much less accepted punishment or sanction for it. (1:29:56–1:30:10)
