    If Iraqis were killed or wounded, and no Americans were, maybe that will help Iraq realize Iran is not their friend.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      And if no Americans were killed, it is an opportunity to stop before it gets worse.

        Absolutely - and would be consistent with Trump "putting up with" Iran's hooliganism until an American was killed.

          Ain't going to happen unfortunately. It was baked into the political cake. Do you remember when Bolton was in office? We were this close from Trump ordering an actual airstrike in Iran territory, on the country itself, until he called it off at the last moment. Neither Iran nor US will back down now.

            Meh, it's sounding more and more like Iran has to "do something" to appease their faithful, so they launched a bunch of missiles, then snorted "there, we showed you".

              Iran is claiming that their response was "proportionate", and is concluded. We shall see.

                Statement from the President'

                "All is well! Missiles launched from Iran at two military bases located in Iraq. Assessment of casualties & damages taking place now. So far, so good! We have the most powerful and well equipped military anywhere in the world, by far! I will be making a statement tomorrow morning."

                Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
                But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
                Than a fool in the eyes of God


                From "Fools Gold" by Petra

                  I wasn't talking about Iran's response, genius. I was talking about our response to Iran's response, you know escalation.

                    Fine with me. Now we need someone to whisper into Trump's ear about how Obama would never have been so gracious as to give Iran a chance back into the nuclear agreement after it had fired upon Americans.

                      Is that really necessary, Sean? Have I insulted you in any way? I've pretty much agreed with a whole bunch of what you've been saying.

                      Sure.

                        Sure.
                        Well, I don't know why you said something so stupid like that when it was obvious I wasn't talking about the scale of Iran's response.

                            I don't know why you took such offense, but I apologize -- apparently I was under the mistaken impression we were having a civil conversation.

                              My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

                              If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

                              This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

                                I don't think he has a choice. But it is what it is. US has been saber rattling Iran, the two going back and fourth for years. It was inevitable.
