One way to escape the fallacy of situational logic is to place yourself in 'the other guys shoes' What would i think/do/feel/say if the tables were turned. To put this in words more appropriate to this situation, What would you do if you were 'in the other mullah's turbin'.

Hmmmm, lets see: industrial military super-power from the other side of the planet that is the only nation in the history of human kind to nuke another country, that previously overthrew YOUR democratically elected government , then installed a military dictator, backrolled him and armed him to the teeth while he surpressed the nation for decades, cheer-leaded a brutal war with your neighbor to the west that lasted almost a decade and wiped out a generation of your countrymen while selling military hardware to BOTH sides, and most recently invaded countries on both your EASTERN and WESTERN borders with a massive military presence, AND has recently constructed military bases in neighboring countries to your north, basically surrounding your country - all the while making bellicose and threatening statements of how dangerous YOU are while THEY have an annual military budget equal to the entire rest of the world combined.

VC.Job asks "Is America hearing?"

i submit to the reader, not only is VC's question falsely structured, it is also falsely conceived.
Hearing is not the problem (nor is listening) - THINKING is the missing element from America at large... not thinking like 'Americans' - thinking like HUMAN BEINGS.

grow up. please. soon.
