You and I are old enough to remember Vietnam and to remember "those who ignore history are condemned to repeat it".Alas, there are still many who like the military strikes.
And as Iran retaliates, we increase the scope of strikes.
If it escalates to full fledged war, the same people will be
in favor of every step which led to it....because each act
was justified. And so the war is good....until it drags on
& on, & regret slips in.
The trick is to imagine where this process leads, before
beginning the process.
