Cowardly

Cowardly for a nation of 5.5 million hemmed in by 300 million fervent enemies, strangled from within by 3 million mad islamists to take steps against a gigantic 80 million strong nation hell-bent on the destruction of that aforementioned 5.5 million nation? Someone must have translated the Farsi unfaithfully.

You might call such action mad, or pretentious, or sheer chutzpah, but cowardly? But then Muslims do have things backwards. They call a suicide-murderers martyrs, they glorify women who will wear explosive pants to their oncologist appointment just because he is jewish, a sovereign nation is considered villainous upstart Dhimmis, and genocide an act of worship. And these are the people deserving a bow, a kow-tow, from the elected leader of the greatest nation on earth. Or is it the greatest?
