Cherchez la Verite: THERE IS A HUE AND CRY TO BOMB IRAN BEFORE THEY NUKE US. BUT IRAN IS FAR FROM MAKING A SINGLE WARHEAD. BY CONTRAST, PAKISTAN HAS MANY NUCLEAR WARHEADS. WHAT DO WE DO? SEND DRONES TO KILL 2,400 INNOCENT PAKISTANIS IN ORDER TO KNOCK OFF 68 SUSPECTED TERRORISTS. IT'S LIKE POKING A NEST OF WASPS. WITH A FOREIGN POLICY LIKE THIS, THEY SURELY WON'T HATE US FOR OUR "FREEDOM"...
