Food for thought

Fellow curmudgeon & ABQ blogger Woody (The Well-Armed Lamb) notes in comments that (slightly paraphrased):

If two female Iranian "journalists"--there are such, of course--were apprehended entering the US through Mexico, where they were ginning up resentment toward the USA...

I don't think it would be an exaggeration to imagine they'd have been sliced, diced, and incarcerated faster than you could shake a stick at. And no visiting Islamic potentate could have EVER arranged for their release.

If we as a county want to continue to assert our moral superiority, it's time for more than a little self-examination, confession, and penance.
