He moonlights as a drug smuggling bird.

The question is on what side do we need transparency? On operation side? Sure, absolutely but on winners side in-regards to their ID? Not really, it has been doing more harm than good.

A waitress who was tipped with a lottery ticket, which won, ended up losing most of the prize money going from one lawsuit to another: The cheapskate client who tipped her the ticket sued her, her colleague sued her, etc.

Money that is supposed to change a person's life by getting them out of financial problems, should not invite new financial and legal problems to their life!

Prohibitions laws went through similar process, and they didn't think that through, they didn't even fund the organisation that is supposed to crack down on alcohol.

Politicians are not philosophers, and the only thing differentiating them from diapers is the amount of shit inside.

They didn't think this law through, did they...

Why do they release the name of the winners?

Now every schmuck would be coming after him with frivolous lawsuits.

I lived under a dictatorship, there is never a logical reason behind any of their actions. It is all about keeping power and "saving" face: If Iranian become socially liberated, they might ask for separation of state and religion, they don't want that and they are fighting tooth and nail for it.

This is a weird thing to be prideful of, considering Israel obtained Nukes in secret and for decades kept denying existence of their nuke heads.

But yeah lets take pride in a nation violating sovereignty of another, instead of Idk diplomacy? which has worked under Obama and showed Iran was willing to work with international communities in-regards to their program.

Edit: And seeing how Israel for decades have been claiming Iran are 2-3 years away from nukes, and under last deal with Iran, it was shown they were no where near that.... It does cast huge shadow of a doubt on what Israel has been claiming.

Iran's mortal enemy is Saudi Arabia, they have been having proxy war with each other for decades now, funding and aiding militias on opposite sides in Syria, Yemen and Iraq. So it is like the cold-war but slightly warmer.

So it kinda weird how Israel like to project itself as fighting against Iran, yet they have done nothing to prove that, aside from empty threats.
