"It's unbelievable that some would try to blame the United States for Iran's actions," State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert says when asked about the purported Iranian strikes on Golan Heights https://t.co/3xFAPdBInr https://t.co/7vEFYKf0wD— CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) May 11, 2018
PJ Media: CNN's Cuomo Asks if America Should Be Blamed for Iranian Aggression Toward Israel
If you have to choose one aspect of the liberal worldview to hate the most, it should be that impulse to blame bad, negative reactions to sound policy on the sound policy, rather than the bad actor.
To put it in fewer words, we can't change what we do out of fear of reprisal. Well, we shouldn't anyway.
It's funny that this concept is not entirely lost on our friends on the left or our betters in the press. After a terror attack, much lip service is given to the continuation of daily life—to not change who we are or what we do in order to placate evil. But it only seems to apply, for them, to mundane things like attending concerts or trips to the ballpark.

WNU Editor: Most Americans do not remember and/or were too young .... but the media debate in the days following 9/11 was focused on ... what did America do that made Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda launch this attack, and why do Muslims hate America. Flash forward to today .... the same nonsense is being voiced. The truth is actually very simple. The Middle East has been in conflict for ages .... and the conflicts are religious/sectarian/and political in nature. Even if the U.S. did not exist .... these wars will still be there. So why the recurring debate in the U.S. on this subject? The answer is also simple. This has more to do with U.S. politics, and using international events to push an internal agenda .... and in the case of CNN .... to push their anti-Trump agenda. After-all .... this was never (if ever) brought up by the main stream media when President Obama was in office .... but the conflicts were just as intense then as they are now.

It's been stated for thousands of years in the Bible (Ezekiel 38) that Iran (Persia)and Russia (Magog) along with Turkey (Meshech and Tubal)will come against Israel. It is rather pointless to try to place blame as it is absolutely going to happen, no matter who the finger of blame can be pointed at.
Whatever. Blame us You will blame us anyway
" If you have to choose one aspect of the liberal worldview to hate the most, it should be that impulse to blame bad, negative reactions to sound policy on the sound policy, rather than the bad actor."
Shouldn't sound policy anticipate and account for those reactions, if it's truly sound? A policy that fails or flounders because an important actor doesn't play along doesn't seem that sound to me in the first place.
Daniel,
I couldn't have put this any better myself. In fact, I think the sound policy as enacted by teams Netanyahu and Trump actually did account for the bad behavior on the bad actor. Before this happened we witnessed high level meetings between Netanyahu and Putin. Also, while not definitive, some sources indicate Putin and Trump communicate daily via phone. Based upon what we are seeing I think this is a reasonable inference. As such, we can be certain all parties were fully briefed on what was going on. When it came time for Israel to respond to the unprovoked attack, Russian defense forces stood down. I think this is not an accident.
