I'm really glad you mentioned innocent US citizens. Have you heard of Rachel Corrie murdered by the IDF?

The exact nature of her death and the culpability of the bulldozer operator are disputed, with fellow ISM protestors saying that the Israeli soldier operating the bulldozer deliberately ran over Corrie, and Israeli eyewitnesses saying that it was an accident since the bulldozer operator could not see her.*

No, but I'm talking about the official position of the Iranian government is to destroy America and kill Americans. This equivocating about Israel vs. Iran's moral status, from the American point of view, is rather sickening.

But then again, in 2016 we recently proved that 40% of Americans have a good chance of walking out of Star Wars believing that Darth Vader was the good guy. So what do I know?

Darth Vader is leading an imperial army fighting terrorists. I guess some might find some similarities in the real world. Not to mention the politics remind me of something..

Indeed. Darth Vader stands for purity, civilization, order. He's a go-getter: he's got a job to do, he does it and doesn't let anything stand in his way. By contrast the rebellion is all about chaos. Indeed, if only the rebels would stop their vain attempt to overthrow the just and good Empire, then all could enjoy peace!

Too many drugs..
