"Iran must comply with United Nations resolutions," declared President Obama. Iran is "as defiant as ever" says a chorus of corporate employees otherwise known as mainstream journalists. Really! Is Iran defiant for testing missiles for its military? What military in the world fails to test missiles? Is Iran defiant for reporting the construction of a "secret underground" uranium enrichment plant at least a year in advance of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) obligations require it to?
I am old enough to remember when Israeli kibbutzim looked like
settlements ("a small village or collection of houses" or "the act of
peopling or colonizing a new country," Oxford English Dictionary).
