This is the same kind of childish thinking that got us where we are now, remember " The fundamentals of the economy is sound, when the truth of the matter was we were sinking like the Titanic, this is the same type of behavior where one can even admit they were wrong....childish behavior.. bomb bomb bomb Iran...childish behavior.
