#1 When no one knows where he is for a month, the State Dept. makes a release and "his inability to communicate with his family or his company, has raised the alarm about his health, safety and whereabouts" but I am sure he is in safe hands and will be boarding a plane home soon.

#2 Now is the time for some retractions about the unique spinelessness of the British. The West as a whole has lost its nerve.

#3 the mounting tensions stemming from repeated American threats against Iran, actual ongoing covert actions within Iran run by the Americans

Repeated American threats against Iran?! Iran's parliament closes with chants of "Death to America"! Covert actions in Iran?! What about the covert actions against the US, around the world, run by Iran?!

Why the hell are Western nations attacked for our response to Third-World nations' threats against us?!

God, I am sick of this crap.

#4 Now is the time for some retractions about the unique spinelessness of the British.

I, for one, have always maintained that this sort of spinelessness is endemic to the West as a whole. Britain's idiotic concept of "Soft Power" is just a wee bit more emblematic of it.

It's called "Blame the victim".
