What Price a Life?

Forty-five (45) dead and almost five hundred (500) injured: The toll of one day's worth of fighting in Kyrgyzstan. Did you hear about that on the news, other than in passing? Any five-hour-long special features, analyses, live satellite feeds, panel discussions a la 3Aza after the "aid" flotilla raid?

No?

Wonder why? Why, because Israel is not involved, of course! You see, dozens, hundreds, thousands of people may die in any one of the multitude of hotspots around the world on a given day (such as, say, the 600 people killed last week in Sudan), but if it's not Israel doing the killing, who gives a shit!

In like vein, I wonder if we're going to be seeing six-hundred assorted "humanitarians" organizing an "aid" convoy to Kyrgyzstan anytime soon. My bet is on NOT.

On another notion, the useless U.N. approved another round of sanctions against Iran the other day. Will they make a difference? Extremely unlikely. Let's face it: The Iranian regime is a bunch of belligerent psychopaths that has made no secret of its designs for the region. There is only one language they understand, and it's not the language of diplomacy. We need to bomb to kingdom come the Iranian nuclear and industrial facilities and, ideally, effect a regime change. Everything else is a waste of time and a display of weakness and fear.

And finally, a lesson lived is a lesson learned. I had personal contact with precisely eleven Iranians (knowingly) hitherto. Of them, ten turned out to be untrustworthy and dishonorable assholes, while the eleventh remains a lifelong friend (but then, they're not really Persian). This experience was confirmed by a lady shaping up to be my, ahem, girlfriend (a Sunni Gulf Arab). The lesson, therefore:

NEVER TRUST A PERSIAN!
