Wow, Stanley Coal need to get out more. The good folks like Grata Thunberg et. al. are indeed "with the people" of Iran and not the "religious" leadership. Much as she is "with the people" of Palestine and not with the evil regime starving them. By his logic, I guess we should be bombing Tel Aviv. Being with the people and not those who oppress them is the more consistent path to peace.
There is a problem - across the political spectrum - of "selective outrage". An analysis grounded in human rights emphasizes that all preventable loss of human life is tragic. Often times, unfortunately, the United States' decisions are based upon economic and geopolitical power rather than human rights. We disparage multilateral relations, institutions, and diplomacy in favor of unilateral military force. It has affected our position as "leaders of the free world" to become "bullies in a dog-eat-dog world".
Bravo Mjones, well said
