This is not a zero-sum game. We know that if we provide access and education particularly where there are gaps in the market we will create more jobs we will create more growth and we will create more activity in the U.S. market which will be good for our economy.
Iran is not a make-believe country. It is a real country populated by some 75 million people - real people including I daresay a majority who are philosophically and by education inclined toward the modern secular world and particularly American values.

I don't diet I don't do fads I've just decided to not eat carbs. So no more bread and pasta for the month. I can't live without chocolate though. I've always got a bar in my handbag. It has to be 72%. Any less and it's too sweet any more and it's inedible. Like I said I'm very particular.
