Depends probably. Is there anything worth nicking? Plasma TV, 'bling', years supply of nappies, new pair of trainers...

See, you stick it in like this, and twist it like that.

They flop around sometimes if you miss the notochord, but it's OK, they die pretty quick. They're not bright enough to actually feel pain, you know.

In all fairness, saying "the Iranians are right for doing so..." is like saying "the Americans were right to to join the British against Hitler in WW2." It's shorthand for what the country is doing.

Your analogy is particularly maladroit since it's not "the Iranians" who are doing it, it's the Revolutionary Guard and their sycophants.

It wasn't "the Americans" joining the allies in WW2, it was the American army. A lot of Americans opposed our joining the war.

Arguing over whether it was "Iranians" or "the" Iranians is rhetorical pedantry. We all know that not all or even most Iranians were involved.

Roosevelt talked a majority of people in the US into the war. No one's done that in Iran, nor will they ever try.

Ping pong balls are always white. Coincidence? I don't think so.
