It takes an opportunist as morally depraved as this Harvard “educated” apologist of “Islamic democracies” to make use of an act by one group of terrorists as pretext to favor other, far bigger terrorists; in fact a terrorist regime.

One cannot expect his American readers, given their “free press”, to know how many thousands of Iranians were executed only in the first few months of the Islamic Republic (what he calls “Iran”)’s installation, or the number of Iranians assassinated abroad, but if the loss of Iranian lives and a decades long open Islamic war against Iranian culture are of no importance to them, they may at least try to remember their own servicemen who lost their lives in the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing or the bombing of the Khobar Towers. If they’re Jewish, they may also want to remember the 1994 bombing of the Argentine Jewish Mutual Aid Association. (+)
