Just look at how weak you people are against one~ bully.
With Democrats and Republicans at odds here, Iran perceives a weak enemy that will totally compromise its objectives. Iran sees the western alliance as unpopular. And what do bullies do to those who are unpopular? They do anything they want.
Iran knows it can get away with kidnapping UK soldiers and demonizing them. Iran has been killing alliance forces, supplying terrorists, and undermining the war effort...all under blatant acceptance by liberals and world leaders.
Some war reporters in the blogosphere mistakenly believe Iran has no sense of self-preservation. While this is true for suicide bombers, Iran's leaders have a bully mentality. Their vulgar display of power pressures regular people via stress to project traits onto the aggressor which can rationalize the aggressor's victory. So if you feel helpless, then you probably are already looking for ways to explain your helplessness instead of fighting the aggressor.
You get that conditioning from living in your own country. Liberals don't feel the same way because they're nutty.
Bullies, on the other hand, hope you see them as powerful because then they can win without further confrontation. To a bully, the longer a confrontation lasts, the worse things get.
You could've learned this at school, but you were too busy pretending bullying doesn't exist.
