I noticed the multiple comments, but started to screen them out in my reading without ever considering why they were there. <i>Very</i> odd. Heh.

No, it’s inconceivable that Iran could develop capable fighter aircraft. Or pilots, for that matter (as is often said: it’s not the aircraft, it’s the pilot. However, in this case, it’s both).

While I am certain that there are indeed extremely intelligent Iranians in this world, and that the majority of the Iranian people don't really want to hurt us, I am also very sure that the average Iranian is neither as smart, as dedicated to their country, nor as competent at their job as the average American. And that the average American jet jockey is about 10 times better than the average Iranian (or any Muslim country's) fighter pilots. Our proficiency, training, and personal commitment to our profession is without equal. I have never felt that our enemies were anywhere near as competent as our Men who defend us for a living. I know it is bad form to underestimate our enemies. However, we have overestimated them as a consequence of our training, and intelligence techniques ever since WWII. We always see the worst because we have to be ready to combat the worst. It is what got us where we are today. But Iran is the paper tiger. They are an accident looking for a US pilot to make it happen. And I am tired of treating our foes as 10 feet tall and bulletproof when the rational and intelligent person knows that Lex and his compatriots are the giants in their field, and everything else is second best. Subsunk out. Tim,
