ARTICLE: Iran Makes the Sciences A Part of Its Revolution By Thomas Erdbrink, Washington Post, June 6, 2008; Page A01

This is example of where Iran really wants recognition less as revolution and more as nation-state.

We need to deny connectivity that validates the revolution (a complete failure) and promote stuff that recognizes the people/nation-state.

Iran the nation-state isn't going away. Iran the revolution isn't going forward.

Leverage what you like and ignore the rest.

The big point here: no claim to alternative science.
