Maybe the scariest thing for me about the situation in Iran is that the U.S efforts seem to be under the control of folks who thought the War in Iraq was a good idea and still think it was a good idea. Never mind those little glitches like all the American (and foreign innocent) lives it claimed, never mind that it lasted far, far longer and cost far, far more than these stumblebums predicted, never mind that there were no Weapons of Mass Destruction, never mind that we weren't greeted as liberators, never mind that we didn't liberate, never mind that even these guys can't quite explain how we benefited…
And they're itching to do it all again. The Donald Trump who campaigned against all those mistakes and against "endless wars overseas" is letting that mob call the shots. I think he just loves the idea that he has the power to order that people be killed.
In other news…well, there really is no other news at the moment. Everyone's scurrying to predict what's next with Iran. We will someday look back on 2020 as the year nobody had a friggin' clue on what was going to happen the next day. At least, I hope we'll be able to look back…
