If I try to respond in their comments section, The Times disapproves and buries it, so I have to address it on my blog. I can't take this insane misinformation that the world's populace is fed by its leaders and the press.
1) Jimmy Carter handed Iran to Khomeini. There is a lot of evidence for this. My dad, who had a front seat to the 1979 revolution, knew this, so did all of the other political players. The documentation is available even on the western mainstream press. So, no the US and the mullahs haven't been enemies as each leadership claims.
2) The mullahs attacked Israel full-well knowing that heir stupid drones and rockets won't do any real damage.
3) Israel bombing some military facility in Iran is another wrist slapping. If either of these two countries wanted to do damage to one another as Israel is doing to the Palestinians they would. They play at this shit to shut their own populations up who fully expect enmity between the two governments and preserve their own legitimacy as well as unite their populace as they quaver behind their esteemed leaders.
I wish the press would stop reporting on the surface events and get to the bottom of these governments' corrupt self-serving actions.
