Shall the Western world stand up and cheer?

Iran cheers anytime there is disaster in the US, be it weather or other calamity. Should the US return the favor and jump up and cheer with joy that Iran might suffer?

Yes, I'm venting. I can still remember Iran cheering with joy on September 11th. I still remember Iran decrying the US attack Iraq and Iran laughing at our defeats, including in Somalia. To Iran ... I don't trust you.

Today a rare winter storm hit Oman and is heading toward Iran.

After the deadly earthquake in Bam, Iran (ironic name, considering) help offered by the United States was accepted. The Red Cross arrived, and one of the men, later interviewed said the first thing anyone said to him, in English, was: "this doesn't change anything."

You really start to see the logic behind 40 days and nights of flooding when you hear that mentality.

Even more stupid, when the tsunami hit Indonesia a few days after Christmas, 2004, killing hundreds of thousands of muslims (tsunnis?), an Imam later declared that it was because of the heathen ways of Christians. Try to make that corelation.
