Unintended consequences
One of the hardest lessons I have ever learned is that you can choose your actions. You cannot choose the consequences of those actions.
I'm not gonna get political. But in the mess of the week, an airliner most likely got shot down as an unintended consequence of what happened. That will touch potentially thousands of people, who lost friends, family, and coworkers. It puts Iran in a place where we've been with them, when we shot down one of their airliners. Ukraine has had one shot down over their country, and now one of their own airliners over someone else's. And the two biggest players in the mess that is our politics have both paid a price because of something we did.
I'm not going to debate the merits of this. I'll shed no tear over this man. The same God that made me, made him. He has to answer to that God for his actions. He was a bad man that did bad things and had the blood of Americans on his hands.
But the unintended consequences of our action led to the death of a bunch of innocent people trapped in a tube sitting in the middle of two wings full of jet fuel and flying above the ground at a high rate of speed. Iran now has to live with the very thing they hate us for doing to them. They're lying about it now. Truth comes out though. Too many people had too many satellites trained on that particular chunk of real estate to hide what happened.
If they deny it long enough, people will believe them. Look at what's happening here.
For instance, this morning, it was an imminent attack on our embassy. By tonight, it had been embellished to being imminent attacks on embassies plural. Lies have unintended consequences, too.
And there's been much lying going on today, by both sides.
