what's an Iranian engineer to do. If you develop porn software, your government kills you. But if you work in nuclear engineering for your government, Israel kills you. I think the best policy would be for Israel to have a secret extraction program for Iranian engineers who are ideologically motivated and want to get into Internet porn engineering. Win-win-win-win (the last one is me.)


> Israel to have a secret extraction program for Iranian engineers

That's one very interesting idea. Offering citizenship and facilitating immigration will slowly brain-drain Iran which will, eventually, cause economic collapse a couple decades from now.

The only downside is that Iran's political environment already shows strong signs of brain drainage.


There are a couple of problems with this:

- Iran sending "moles" to spy Israel or other countries.

- They would become terrorist targets (for being traitors to the regime).

- Some of them, even when they are against the government, are also against Israel. Religion is too much strong there.

And anyway, I think that they can ask for political asylum for their own, while visiting other countries (but I dont know if they are free to travel).


What is this, a joke?


yes!!
