Horrific? Precisely, how US actions are perceived around the world. US foreign policy has been mired in sheer hypocrisy for years now! Incredible how a despotic Shah remained a staunch ally of a democratic America, while a democratic regime in Iran - however unsavory to US interests - becomes a soft target for the world's only superpower. Then, we witness that almost the entire leadership of that superpower kowtows to the diktat of its zionist masters halfway around the world - and suddenly, it doesn't look that surprising any more.
