I hear you Humint. Many of us have had no compunction towards Iran, and little thought for innocent Iranians killed by the plane crash. But many of us also realise that normal, sane Iranians abhor the dictatorship that seeks to rule their lives: we must destabilise the present Theocracy and seed another working democracy in the ME.
better dom it soon-regime change,or the dogs of war will be unleashed
Death sucks no matter who dies or how they die. I am not a pacifist but my hatred of death, particularly violent death, encourages me to question and seek out answers. Here’s one way I do it. If we develop a "chain of responsibility" using empathy as a tool we can find out who was responsible if responsibility can be assigned...
I was not one of the mechanics that sent that plane into the air today however I imagine they will be questioned by government agents today. I am not one of the Iranian government regulators who authorized that plane to fly today however I imagine they will blame the mechanics and or U.S. sanctions. I did not impose sanctions on the Iranian regime however I believe the United States government was right to do so because of the destabilizing policies of the Iranian Government. I am not an official of the Iranian regime however I know the Iranian regime is a Theocratic Dictatorship and the ultimate arbiter there is Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. I have never met Khamenei but this is what he says about the United States, a nation I know very well.
True democratic stability exists here in the United States because we conquer threats to liberty whenever they arise. Beyond our borders American leadership has ushered in a kind of health and global prosperity that isn’t realizable in the bygone era of competing dictatorships. I’m not necessarily arguing that the U.S. should begin a crusade against dictators around the world however I am saying that our mere existence is a threat to their existence. The real villain here is Khamenei. If we look, we can see it in this plane crash and we can see it in his words and we can see it in his policies. The MSM is just going to show us the burning rubble… we have to look past it so that this will be one of the last piles of burning rubble. Because… Death Sucks, particularly violent death.
