Now, I admit, that is good advice. And I am not being facetious.
We should protect ourselves from people who have been screaming at the top of their lungs for the last half century:
"DEATH TO AMERICA"
And not only have they threatened it, they have killed thousands of American citizens over that time.
I do believe you are correct in this. We absolutely SHOULD protect the U.S. from those threats of wiping us off the face of the Earth.
Of course, if it protects Israelis and the rest of the world too, that is an added bonus.
Please don't twist my words. You might think it's cute, but it's really dishonest.
You know that when I said Trump should focus on the U.S., I mean he should ignore Iran.
So what if a few Iranians scream "Death to America" for the cameras? You can find people all over the world -- including in the U.S. -- who scream "Death to America" for the cameras.
Only an idiot would take every such showboating seriously.
The Neocons decide which country they want to attack next, then cherry-pick the sound bites that support their narrative.
Actually, the Neocons can't even keep their narratives straight. Half the time we're told that Iranians are Muslims maniacs who should be turned into glass. The other half the time we're told that Iranians are non-Muslims who yearn to be liberated by Trump.
