The New York Times' Tom Freidman purports that we're in a cold war with Iran. As we meddle with the middle east, they meddle to stop us and to fuck with us, and any direct attack on them by us would spell disaster for Israel. This seems to fit my version of reality pretty well, so I have to wonder: is it evidence of a cold war or just coincidence that the CIA is now recruiting through an ad on the New York Times' homepage?
