I have a rhetorical question for the reader’s consideration. Has the United States government every been honorable? Has it ever kept a treaty it has entered, or eventually violated every one (ask a Native American for a clue).
Of late, the U.S. entered into negotiations with Iran last summer and then attacked Iran during said negotiations. The end of last month that same ‘strategy’ was repeated. Now this:
Since the start of the war Iran aligned militia in Iraq have fired missiles against U.S. targets. The also used First Person View (FPV) drones for targeted hits (vid) in U.S. encampments. Damage was caused to U.S. missile and air-defense which protected the U.S. Camp Victory and the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. Two days days ago the U.S. requested a ceasefire to evacuate from its Iraqi bases. A 24 hour ceasefire was granted and U.S. troops were moved to Jordan. Hours later the U.S bombed the headquarter of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF, Hasd al-Shabi) which had negotiated the ceasefire.

I suppose I’m naive. In nature, violence rules, assuming there are any rules at all. I thought humans, especially those ruling my own country, could have risen above such base inclinations and would strive to do the next right and honorable thing. Obviously I was mistaken. Violence, or the threat of violence. Every. Single. Time.
