"if they cared, they'd lift the embargo on aircraft parts so these people don't die because of badly maintained passenger planes"
Huh? He is saying that we should show care... I think you should re-read what he wrote.
- zalew 15y agoIn the context as a whole it looks different for me. But does it really matter? offtopic: from the fluctuation of upvotes/downvotes on my few last comments in the last few hours, I see some people treat hn like reddit - downvoting based on opinion. Not that I care about those 3 karma points, just sayin'.
- burgerbrain 15y agoThe entire sentence is: "Yeah the nuclear bomb makers and holocaust deniers have to be stopped, but let's show some care and understanding for innocent people under their rule first." The context is condemning people who think of Iran as "something that we should bomb", without considering the human factor. Your comment is just very bizarre to be honest. I can only interpret it as a complete non sequitur. offtopic: In my experience, fluctuations in voting indicate that people are experience a significant amount of confusion when reading your post.
- zalew 15y agoMaybe, but you can easily assume that the ones who can 'stop' (bomb makers and holocaust deniers have to be stopped,) aren't hn readers but govs. Other thing is, a lot of people aren't aware that such embargos not only hurt the regime economically, but directly affect the safety of those innocent citizens for decades. Misunderstood or not, the case is still valid. ot: it was not about this particular comment exactly, but whatever. I just don't use downvote here to express I don't agree with someone. let's leave it alone, doesn't matter.
