The meaning of a sentence is determined not by the intentions good or bad of its speaker but by its relationship to the world out there. And statements by Americans on the evils of Iran have only two possible meanings:

1. hbfoiqaiweyshudr9pioaksl.lfujwm3vnf p9w38er7vgn (pure gibberish which cannot possibly make a difference)

2. Bomb Iran!

^^^^^ CB: Right on , Carrol ! Officious intermeddling, busybodying. American lefts speaking out against evils among Iranians are taking up The White Man's Burden, which has always been substantially liberals trying to save "natives" from themselves. American lefts should put all their political energy into saving Americans from themselves.
