And a suicide bomber is not the power seat of Iran. Just like an infantryman is not General Sherman.

I never said they wouldn’t send individual people to die. They are the power of Iran, I do not believe they will commit suicide en masse.

I don’t either, but it’s not just grandstanding. How many borderline bombers become actual bombers because they heard the command straight from the lips of the Grand Poobah himself? It’s completely reprehensible and insane for that reason alone.

I understand the small semantic point that you’re trying to make…i think. Reminds me of folks making small semantic points about the Birchers. Some things just aren’t worth sticking up for, even if your very narrowly crafted caveat is technically accurate…
