An article in “The Gainesville Iguana” newsletter pointed out an article by Noam Chomsky with the same title as this editorial. I read it and realized this information needs to be shared. We have all been fed by various news media outlets that Iran is the “Great Satan,” intent on destroying Israel with its accumulation of a nuclear arsenal. During the final presidential debate, both candidates pointed out Iran’s danger. However, let’s consider a scenario in which we reverse the accusations thrown on Iran:
