Words can cause lots of trouble

Reader comment on item: Has Baghdad Bob Moved to Tehran?

Submitted by Stas (Ukraine), Jul 21, 2012 at 00:13

While it may be just bluster and threatening words, the world has learned that words, as well as actions, have consequences. It is foolhardy for anyone in Iran's position to try to taunt the Israeli lion to action. Israel must maintain a policy when it comes to protection of her citizens and threats, idle or not, made upon them- shoot first and ask questions later.
