notice that I used the word "more." Dubya would like to ban science
from universities unless it served corporate interests (at least that
of his cronies). But he can't do it. He can't even think of it.
His power is much stronger when it comes to "foreign affairs."
The Iranian power elite, on the whole, are a lot more divided on
everything from economics to foreign policy to culture than the US
power elite are.
