Question of the Day...

Why does the U.S. always use the term "provocative" when the bad guys around the world flex a little? Today's headline was something like - North Korea to test rocket. Our response? "That would be provocative." The Bush administration did this weekly and now the Obama White House has picked up on it. Iran completes nuke...provocative. Hamas smuggles weapons in tunnels...provocative. Muslims deny holocaust...provocative. Why don't we just talk right down to earth in a language that everyone can easily understand. Iran, we will not allow you to develop your warhead. North Korea, we will not allow you to pick on your neighbors. Muslims, the vast majority of terrorism in the world today sprouts from your teachings and ideology. You know why we don't say it? It would be too provocative.
