Funny. Not.

Another Vietnam veteran payed a high price for a botched joke almost two years ago. Now John McCain is joining the ranks with an attempted joke implying that the US' intention is to kill Iranians.

McCain reacted to a report on rising US cigarettes exports to Iran by saying that "maybe that's a way of killing 'em." I can see that being funny. I can see that being funny if it's US foreign policy to strive to kill Iranians. Is it, Sen. McCain?

This seems to be a recurrent theme in the neoconservative approach to USFP: if we have problems with other states, all of their citizens become fair game and we lump them together with their erring leaders.
