The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

You're viewing this through your own value system, and missing the true picture. Iran, and all Islamist terrorists, have targeted innocent civilians since forever and a day. When you're a religious bigot, which they certainly are, it's natural to view all non-believers as legitimate targets. They don't care about American public opinion. We're all evil to them.

We may all be evil to them, but that doesn’t stop them from being pragmatists when it comes to fighting this war.

So far, they have shown themselves remarkably adept at running circles around American diplomatic efforts.

And they have demonstrated a sophisticated understanding of the American public in their early war propaganda efforts.

I have no doubt that they would kill as many of us as possible IF IT WAS IN THEIR INTERESTS TO DO SO.

But it’s not, so I doubt that they will.
