Feeling Sorry For Farah Stockman

She wrote this really nice piece arguing against war on Iran and was attacked for it: 

Threat Iran poses calls for urgent response

Iran covertly began its nuclear program and commenced to deceive the international community about it.

So did Israel, but the Jewish hate group has nothing to say about that.

US is not to blame for crisis with Iran 

No mention of the 25,000 Jews who are happy in Iran and refused money to move to Israel.  

And that's who gets letters printed in my Boston Globe.

All in response to this:

"Next month, Senator Lindsey Graham plans to file a bill seeking authorization for the use of military force. The more Americans talk of war, the faster the Iranians build their centrifuges. It doesn’t take a  rocket scientist to understand why. We invaded Iraq, a country that didn’t have a bomb, but left nuclear-armed North Korea alone. 

Wow, someone finally figured out the villain's mode of operation! 

Every time I hear talk of military strikes on Iran, I think of the 15th annual Press and Media Festival. I wonder how the people I met there are faring, now that their currency lost half its value. 

Ah, a HUMAN FACE of the "ENEMY!"  

I think of the day I visited the Milad Tower, one of the tallest buildings in the world. Tehran, a megacity of 18 million people, sprawled out to the horizon. Down below, mothers and fathers sat in traffic, teenagers drank non-alcoholic lemon beer in hookah bars. They were ordinary people, not so different than you and me, living their lives and hoping for a better future." 

Yeah, how dare she say such things in the Jewish War Paper.

The silver bullet is to stop messing around in other people's nations, countries, and lands.
