Dear Project Censored Daily Blog, if you recall I was based in Tehran in the early 1970s and had to learn Farsi (Persian language). In fact, my wife learned it too.

Well, it was inevitable. I was actually starting to get a little worried that people were not finding the site interesting enough to comment on it, but look at this little gem that I received in my mailbox tonight: (Notice the grammatical errors) Not sure what it is, but everytime I see your articles I find them so boring. Dude I know you have a man crush on Obama, I don't hate Obama but can you be objectiv ...

Last week we began to examine the immorality of the Israeli attack on Gaza. As a way of concluding the moral discussion, we must state what Israel simply refuses to recognize is that with more firepower comes more responsibility for its use and the consequences of its use, intended or otherwise.
