Quote:From the "who's surprised at this", file:Blah. The U.S. has been chicken-littling Iran for more than half a century. Meanwhile, the U.S. itself has overthrown an elected Irani democracy, has fostered a nearly decade-long war against Iran, and has supplied their enemies with unconventional weapons to use against them. What has Iran actually done that is so terrible?
I know everyone else will find this as shocking as I did. Plutonium found in Iran waste facility
While the world has been negotiating with the bellicose apocalypse--now mullocrats in Iran in an effort to persuade them to drop their nuclear jihad ambitions for some time now, we see how far that’s gotten us. It's finally culminated in today’s <i>faux pas</i>.
The shia-apocalypse nut bar “president” of Iran is that much closer to ushering in the endtimes.
Hooray for mass murder on a (much wider) global scale.
Okay, shows over, move along.
Legitimate grievances the U.S. has against Iran:
1. Iranis violated diplomatic immunity rules and took many of their ambassadors hostage
2. Iran supports an organization (Hezbollah) which targets U.S. interests and allies
The U.S. is not above proxy wars, so we can hardly look down our noses at Iran for doing the same. Anything else?
In the middle of the twentieth century, when we wanted control of Iran's oil, we labelled them as communists. Now, when we want to control their use of nuclear fuel, we are labelling them terrorists. Hooray!
