It feels like everyone in the region is inflicted with a terrible case of Asperger’s Syndrome, because it seems like so many people there are sociopathic and stupidly trip over their own clumsy illogic to perform the mental gymnastics that irrationally qualifies war with ever changing flimsy excuses at everyone else’s expense.

He would of course use his super intelligence and alien space lasers to target only the people actually launching the rockets, his from-the-future space lasers are so accurate and advanced that there is no possibility of collateral damage.

If you were in charge of a country, how would you react if another country started bombing your cities?
