    Hmm, now replace Iran with the USA, and tell me how would you feel if someone has bombed your embassy and killed a bunch of its employees? Would you still tell us that the US should not retaliate?

      I mean both of you are correct. I find it difficult to say that Iran would be wrong to retaliate. They have all the right in the world to do so.

      Would it be a wise decision? I don’t think so. A war against Israel wouldn’t be beneficial for them. But if they start one, they are fully within their rights.

        And that’s exactly the double standards I was talking about. Letting someone act with impunity creates a very dangerous precedent.

        Yeah. Because Arab nations don’t have the resources as Western ones, they typically have to resort to terrorism to fight back.

        This is why the “war on terror” is such a big deal. It means that any poor nation who tries to fight a wealthy one is immediately in the wrong.

        Right now you are talking like a high school bully.
