First they poison our pets and now they’re trying to kill Central Americans with toothpaste! Damn the Chinese and their unregulated use of toxic chemicals.
I’m actually suspicious this is yet another CIA campaign to topple a government. Speaking of which, can anyone name a CIA campaign to topple a government that actually led to a better government springing up in the old one’s place? If so, I’m willing to consider endorsing such foolish methods of enacting foreign policy. Otherwise, I think we’re stupid for using the CIA to try and overthrow Iran’s religious dictators. Must not have learned anything from our mistakes with the Shah. I don’t like the idea of playing Pakistan against Iran much either. Pakistan already has nukes, so we pay her strongman off with bribes. That’s certainly not ideal.
Again, if someone can point me to one or more clear cases of positive long-term results that came from CIA meddling in foreign affairs, I would love to digest the information!
I realize that Iran as a nuclear power would probably end badly for everyone. I’m not debating whether or not Iran’s current rulers represent a threat to Americans everywhere. They do. They remind us every day.
Neither the Chinese or the CIA should use poison carelessly.
