"We're going to bomb them back to the stone age -"

The president said.

"Where they belong."

And there was anger in his voice when he said this, it was not a joke, or hyperbole. Although, no one really believes he will do anything he says, I do think this is what he really *feels* and I don't get it.

Why? Why do the 93 million people who live in Iran 'belong' in the stone age? What did they do to the USA to deserve such contempt and violence?

The US has destroyed most of Iran's planes and military vessels. What is more interesting is that we [edit: looking some stuff up about this, I get US meddings mixed up sometimes. The more general point is that the US has 'been involved' they don't just 'hate us for our freedom' as W would say. ]

I think Iran knew this would happen and they don't seem hindered much by having the old tools of war gone. They have been expecting this. And this seems to confound our president.
