Lest we forget in the Iraq-Iran war of the 1980s in which untold amounts of Iranians were killed from weaponry outlawed by the Geneva Convention and International Law and its court, nearly 300 civilians were killed when an Iranian passenger plane was shot down. The "Tanker War" slaughtered even more human beings–all causing taxpayers billions of dollars.
Dear Ones,
No one apologized as history and bigotry marched on. Who were the "Evil Empire" at that time? The naive and thoughtless still think Iran, Old Persia of a rich culture of world literature, the arts and intellect even to this day, is verbally attacked and made out to be a Pariah. Thank goodness the Obama Administration has lifted sanctions that always hurt women and children the most. Now Iran can have their own money returned to the people so they can have a society free as the rest of the developed world.
The present House "Tea Party" in Congress, mostly Caucasian men and Pauline mindset, forget the good teaching of their own god and prophet of whom it has been written, "Blessed are the peacemakers" and "Do not do unto others what you don't want done to you." This latter wisdom was started by Confucius and Buddah, with the prince of peace, Jesus, later supporting them.
And what about the same good teacher who said, "Love your enemies" and Moses, according to mythology, who wrote in stone, "Thou shalt not kill?" ISIS, review the Bible that you, too, read and apporove for its guide to human decency and morality.
