| Iran or Turning the Cause into a Trap for its Advocates |
| 2021-04-20 |
| [ENGLISH.AAWSAT] The worst thing that can happen to causes and their wars, be they righteous or not, is for them to turn into traps for their advocates, whereby they cannot achieve the causes’ goals within a particular timeframe and cannot, on the other hand, leave them and turn the page on them. They thereby fall captive to wars for wars’ sake and causes for causes’ sake, while the depletion of resources and squander of reason become inevitable consequences. When its legitimacy is weak, a political regime’s tendency to hit this chord prevails in the hopes that this will compensate for its limited supply of legitimacy. However, we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by... the issue soon turns into a sacred doctrine that the regime which had established it cannot control. Here, the nation falls into the trap of the cause instead of the cause being a source of empowerment for the nation. |

| #4 this article is opinion, not news Which is why it is filed on Page 4: Opinion. We see similar word salad op-ed writing from many of our international local news sources, working hard to display erudition instead of making the points succinctly and logically, supporting each by a few well chosen facts, what the late French journalist-philosopher Jean-François Revel (Anti-Americanism, Without Marx or Jesus) called the Time Magazine style that he happily adopted. |

| #1 Yitzhak Rabin did the same with the 1993 Oslo Accords. ... Rabin was assassinated. 1650 Israelis were killed by Palestinians since Oslo accords. A very expensive Peace Nobel. |
