Subject: RE: BS: Election in Iran
No, just having sympathy for them doesn't indicate a desire to attack them. Some people are just expressing sympathy. It's the use of peoples' natural sympathies as a pretext for whipping up support among the US voters for an attack on Iran that I am talking about, and there are a lot of people who are doing this. We saw the same sort of thing with the big lie about Saddam's "incubator babies" while people were whipping up support for the things we did to Iraq.
