Way back in the 1960’s, Playboy Magazine had a cartoon by a guy named Gahan Wilson, that showed a night scene of a bunch of robed people bowing down to a huge stone zero. In the back of the crowd, one robed man turns to another and asks, “Is Nothing sacred?”
Well, embassies aren’t anymore. They haven’t been for a long time. Back when Jimmy Carter was President, the Iranians stormed our embassy there and held those people prisoner for 400 days. The Muslims attacked our embassy in Benghazi, Libya and murdered the ambassador, our embassy was overrun in Vietnam, attacked in Baghdad, the list goes on.
So when Israel had the golden opportunity to kill one of the most sadistic Iranian generals and a bunch of other high-ranking Iranian officers meeting in their embassy in Damascus, Syria, they jumped on it. Now Iran is screaming revenge.
This may not be the start of revenge attacks on embassies, just that it could be, and if so, would be an excellent way to get a big Middle East War moving right along.
