What bothers me is the fact that this is news not because of what happened but the fact that it happened in a country we're gearing up to hate.
Whether we "Bomb, bomb, bomb... bomb, bomb Iran" (think Beach Boys and that one is good) or not is another matter... I'm just sick of the way the media covers "news."
