Who knows? Perhaps enough of them will get pissed enough to bring the felon to heel.

NPR report today.

In the days since the U.S. and Israel launched their war with Iran, Iran has retaliated by firing thousands of missiles and drones at Israel and neighboring Gulf Arab countries. But new data show how Iran has targeted one of those Gulf nations a lot more than the others. That's the United Arab Emirates. That's where NPR international correspondent Aya Batrawy is based, and she brings us this report on how the UAE has been caught in the crossfire.

Full report is interesting.
