I have one: Can't they wait until after my golf trip to Palm Springs? Flying over on $300/barrel oil will be a pain!
On a serious note: Bomb Iran. Bomb Iran now. Bomb. Bomb. Bomb.
Bargaining with them is futile. As General McArther said: “for history teaches with unmistakable emphasis that appeasement but begets new and bloodier war. It points to no single instance where this end has justified that means, where appeasement had led to more than a sham peace.”
“Like blackmail, it lays the basis for new and successively greater demands until, as in blackmail, violence becomes the only alternative.”
Agree — bomb Iran now -— Numerous neighbors here in L.A. who arrived in the US in the seventies are very worried about what’s going on and are ENCOURAGING our current administration to get in there and do something.
They detest what’s happening in Iran and are fearful for their (mostly elderly) relatives who never felt they could leave the homeland.

Great line. If it’s true as I believe it is, we’ve got some ugly times ahead of us.
