In reply to the discussion: So Iran is our new “Enemy.” Are we going to fall for this crap again? [View all]gratuitous
(82,849 posts)13. Being a threat to the U.S. has nothing to do with it
If Iran would just be reasonable, and hand over all that oil of ours they're sitting on, things would be nice and peaceful. For now. If they can't be reasonable, we'll just kill a few million of their citizens, declare the deceased as post hoc "militants" or "terrorists," and absolve ourselves of any war crimes or crimes against humanity.
Surprisingly, this nonsense actually passes for logic in the minds of some people.
