    Iran is not the United States. We have the military might to strike anywhere in the world. We can invade any country in the world. Iran can’t do any of those things. I get why they want to strike back but strategically it’s a bad move. I think they should pitch their case to the UN. Israel should not have attacked their consulate. It wasn’t an embassy that was attacked. Hell I support Israel but I can’t defend attacking the consulate. I won’t even attempt to defend that.

      And that’s exactly the double standards I was talking about. Letting someone act with impunity creates a very dangerous precedent.

      Yeah. Because Arab nations don’t have the resources as Western ones, they typically have to resort to terrorism to fight back.

      This is why the “war on terror” is such a big deal. It means that any poor nation who tries to fight a wealthy one is immediately in the wrong.

        Iran isn’t an Arab nation, nor Afghanistan or a plethora of other countries we’ve fought. Your point stands though. That’s why they revert to terrorism.

        I think we should have allied with Iran to fight isis
