I strongly agree that without regime change this is a huge setback for us and many countries.
I also believe this regime has tested the limits of violence and intimidation, and will continue to do so. Getting nuclear weapons will lock them in as ridiculously dangerous–look at how North KOrea is now essentially locked in. The tactical appraoch without much of a coalition is incredibly short sighted, yet now may still be the best time to drive to a favorable end game. Can still sign up partners.
Looks like over the last 4 days Iran has become more aggressive with ship strikes, so things are slowing down a bit. Punches and counter-punches. IMO important to keep their oil “not flowing” while the other gulf states continue to ship significant amounts, and hopefully force a favorable conclusion to this conflict
I read excerpts in the NYT on sunday morning. Painful . . . idealism collides head first with reality, and the conflict with her daugher is far from over, at least IMHO
I will definitely agree that “democratic” and “socialist” are and should be antonyms! That said, I have to admit that there is one thing in that list that has merit, 8 things that I strongly oppose, and 2 things that are so stupid that I wonder if this is from an 4th grade student congress election.
I was in grade school for the bicentennial. Loved it–learned history, patriotic songs in music class, every box of Cheerios had historic flags . . . and that was in the somewhat depressing aftermath of our Vietnam embarrassment and the “oil crisis”.
