That is, it took us a good thirty years at least into the Communist regime in the USSR to start to get a systematic grip on their "operating code" (at least when "we" means the public non-governmental sector). So maybe we're not that far behind the curve with the mullahs. Here's hoping that they won't be around for long enough for our relationship with them ever to evolve to the baroque pas-de-deux of the late Cold War.
