I don't think the UK media have made nearly enough noise about the US Navy sinking an *unarmed* Iranian warship and then, in clear violation of the Geneva Conventions, leaving them to drown.

This is a heinous war crime which the media would be rightly up in arms about if any country that wasn't nominally an "ally" had done it.

@statsguy I don't think a single country has expressed enough outrage about 175 deaths at a school in the first wave of American attacks on Iran. Most of the dead were girls aged 7 to 12 years old.

If there's a mass terror attack on the USofA then they've bought it upon themselves.

@geoffl Indeed. I was thinking about that while I was out running errands today. If some Middle East rando decides to blow up a store I'm in, there's an obvious and understandable motivation for that. We've already given them license to, by our own callous brutality.

You'd think we might have learned better after 9/11, but I guess we forgot, or we're too full of ourselves.

I feel like I'm living in a nation with an ever-increasing proportion of stupid douchebags. They sure act like it.
