Fareed Zakaria on Iran:

We’re on a path to irreversible confrontation with a country we know almost nothing about. The United States government has had no diplomats in Iran for almost 30 years. American officials have barely met with any senior Iranian politicians or officials. We have no contact with the country’s vibrant civil society. Iran is a black hole to us — just as Iraq had become in 2003.

Gahhh! How is it that such walls can endure?
