Don't they realize how dumb they look?<p>Their standard response to any criticism is to dig through things which have happened in the past as a result of US action, make huge leaps of logic, and then justify whatever it is they did in terms of that.<p>Never mind the right or the wrong of the issue...<p>I guess that's the sin/shame culture difference. For them it doesn't matter what they did, it matters that they got caught. And justifying it in terms of what someone else did means they regain "honor" or whatever the fuck it is they're trying to do...
