Tim, I acknowledge and agree with most of your analysis. I think mentioning the amount of ordinance is important. Moral justification is an important argument as well. Overall, I believe that most of the arguments for moral justification fall short, and hindsight is 20/20. I appreciate the restraint that Trump has shown. Currently, I would not actively participate in any Iranian action. I worry about the worst and hope for the best. What a mess. Trump has shown restraint in the past, and I hope it continues. Israel is in a tight spot with an enemy that has vowed to wipe Israel off the map. May cooler heads prevail.
Well, people say lot's of things, e.g., Khrushchev, "We will bury you".
And then people say lots of things that people said, e.g., wiped of the map. I think if you look at what the leaders were saying, it was that the apartheid regime of Israel would be wiped off the map as the apartheid regime of S Africa.
But those are just words.
The reality is that Israel IS wiping Palestine off the map:
My state, Indiana, has 11 "Representatives".
10 of 11 have received money from AIPAC --
And, 10 of 11 are endorsed by AIPAC.
Whom do they really represent?
I'm sure these 10 will speak out against our bombing.
Check out your state:

They were "Bold and Brilliant" "Big and Beautiful" "Bunker-Busting" Bullshit Bombs.
Mostly "Peaceful, but Fiery".
Peace through bombing.
You have to admit it is very Phunny!
Trump calling Iran a "Bully".

Thanks for the reply, Tim. I love your writings and analysis.
Missing Yemen
Yup.
And now add Iran again -- now tie for first place!
