I wrote a message to Marjorie Cohn commenting on her OpEd article. I have followed her OpEds for many years and it is important that there are people like her working for peace. But in order to cure the sickness, one must understand and acknowledge the disease. I share the message here: Hi Marjorie, Unilateral sanction of Iran and forcing other countries to follow suit is already an attack. Remember the Iraq embargo that purportedly caused unnecessary death of 500,000 children? You don't need bombs to slaughter people nowadays. Violate laws? Haven't they been doing it for a long time already? What do you call the devastation of Iraq and Libya among myriad other examples? Has anyone stopped them? Who grants them the power to perform these atrocities? Who gives them the unlimited war budgets to cause havoc, death, and suffering? Who allows mass murdering war criminals enjoy impunity? The answer is not some intangible "they." America is the greatest democracy in all of history; it has a government of the people, for the people, and by the people. The people are therefore responsible. Until the people of America see the blood on their hands and do something about it, nothing will change. We have met the enemy and he is us.
