Are we sick or something?

Another Iranian scientist in Iran has been killed, this time with a magnetic bomb attached to his car. And another person was in the car with the scientist.

I doubt I'm alone in saying these continued murders of Iranian scientists are sick, but I wonder what corporate media pundits are saying about this. I figure this must be the work of either the Israeli military (with US complicity and support) or the US military itself.

I've gone through the various stages of warmongering and grief about the Iranian nuclear program. I'm with Ron Paul on this issue overall. And I believe what we or the Israelis are doing is creating a terrible precedent. We are killing the smart people in Iran. We are killing their Oppenheimers and Fermis. Yes, they are building a nuclear bomb. But we are wrong to think the mullahs really want to use this for anything more than a balanced threat against Israeli or US aggression in the region (the old mutually assured destruction scenarios). I don't like that, either, but it's not worth creating a precedent where nations can go around killing scientists in other nations.

And if we read the second link above, we see the Iranians were saying last September that they would not retaliate, and instead sought international action. The Iranians are acting more responsibly in this single instance, while it is likely the Israelis and the US governments which are acting like terrorists and "rouge states."

Obama keeps making me want to explore third party options and these continued murders are an example...I may even vote...egad!...Libertarian if Gary Johnson is the nominee. At least he does not appear to have the anti-abortion, anti-gay and wacky Manichean views that come with Ron Paul (Though even Johnson has supported parental consent and partial birth abortion legislation...Sigh). It's gonna be a depressing vote I make on the presidential level, I am supposing.

ADDENDUM: Heck, even these people show more restraint when they attack property, not people.
