Except for the massaging necessary to convert the SMS texts, the only changes are to manually add the single MMS post, scroll down for Bibi’s hair dye, which was a picture of the hair disaster, and bowdlerizing some swear words.<\/p>\n

There are some exchanges that are a bit confusing, because things get a bit temporally dislocated because of the lag between sending and receiving a message and the time to actually thumb type\/Swype a response. <\/p>\n

Charlie and I worked to clarify this as much as possible.<\/p>\n

I have put it after the break, because it would otherwise it would push everything else off the page.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Charles:<\/b> Extension of what sanctions?
03\/27\/2017 11:36 AM<\/i><\/span><\/td>\n<\/table>\n\n
<\/a>Me:<\/b> The nuclear sanctions. There is a bulk in congress to do so.
03\/27\/2017 11:37 AM<\/i><\/span><\/td>\n<\/table>\n\n
<\/a>Charles:<\/b> Does that apply to new non-nuclear related sanctions?
03\/27\/2017 11:38 AM<\/i><\/span><\/td>\n<\/table>\n\n

<\/a>Charles:<\/b> https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/research\/the-jcpoa-should-be-maintained-and-reinforced-with-a-broad-regional-strategy\/ this source claims such sanctions are fine.
03\/27\/2017 11:42 AM<\/i><\/span><\/td>\n<\/table>\n\n

03\/27\/2017 1:37 PM<\/i><\/span><\/td>\n<\/table>\n\n
<\/a>Me:<\/b> I think that Hezbollah is primarily a terrorist organisation with a Shia political party rump.
03\/27\/2017 1:37 PM<\/i><\/span><\/td>\n<\/table>\n\n
<\/a>Charles:<\/b> So basically, the uk view?
03\/27\/2017 1:38 PM<\/i><\/span><\/td>\n<\/table>\n\n
<\/a>Me:<\/b> But Iran will always support them, because it is part of the great game being played between Sunni and Shia for over a millennium.
03\/27\/2017 1:39 PM<\/i><\/span><\/td>\n<\/table>\n\n
<\/a>Me:<\/b> I should note that Hezbollah also does a better job of provisioning services than does the central Lebanese government does.

<\/a>Me:<\/b> That fact is a major source of their power.
03\/27\/2017 1:41 PM<\/i><\/span><\/td>\n<\/table>\n\n
<\/a>Charles:<\/b> The way a lot of this conflict is framed here, it’s like saying shia islam is the problem

<\/a>Charles:<\/b> With the situation over there, I fear that vew could lead to genocide.
