At 75. I suppose. We better just quickly start off with what you thought. When you heard the news, the diplomatic buildings in damascus had been destroyed. Presumably, with american weapons, the act of war suddenly was not condemned by Un Security Council members of britain, france, im the United States. You know, i was actually quite disappointed, but not surprised at all. The western countries didnt condemn the israel east for attacking the rainy and embassy and damascus. If any other country had done that to any other countries, embassy, uh, the United States and its allies would surely condemn that country. I mean, can you imagine if the russians hit an embassy in any country around the world of the United States, and thats how i would have gone ballistic.

And do you think it was an act by the Israeli Government to draw the United States in as being, as its being talked about . Is iran. I clearly does not wish to be further involved. Uh, it certainly hasnt done what uh some fed some wanted as regards the genocide and guys we dont have any real hard evidence to know exactly what the israelis were thinking. But that would be my guess. The israel is, have long been interested in dragging us the United States into a war with israel. I mean, excuse me, a war with iran.
