Just when we believe a disaster is averted with the US-Iran chest pounding, a real tragedy occurs. It’s gut wrenching to think that Iran mistakenly shot down a commercial airliner jet out of fears it was in retaliation to their air strikes on US bases 2 hours earlier.
Imagine the look on Iranian soldiers’ faces after realizing of this blunder — hopefully the shot of piercing humanity that sobers this tension between the two countries. Humanity lost today, folks. May they rest in peace and God bless these 176 innocent victims of a bufoon and a paranoid idiot.
