Is this little Op-Ed by the NY Times supposed to make us feel sympathetic towards this terrorist facilitator?

Hey, you know the liberal routine by now: "Just b/c he helped terrorists buy missiles to kill Americans and destabilize our economy, doesn't mean he's a bad person. (Sniffle), The little guy's a victim (sob)."

Victimization is a basic belief by which they escape blame, find others responsible for their own wrongdoing, and expect taxpayers, high-priced lawyers, and the courts to bail them out.

It's always about feeling good about themselves and keeping their self-esteem intact. "Victimization" goes hand in hand with an outsized "sense of entitlement" that they are above the law. The rest of us exist to pay-up, and clean-up their filthy messes.
