I mean, personally, I'm dubious about the whole idea of "rules" of war in the first place. But there was no need to intentionally say something like that.

I don't think I'm "glib" at all -- I just don't get hysterical about these things, and it appears the facts developing now are proving me correct --- both sides seem to be looking for the off-ramp, and I'm very grateful for that.

We are, according to various laws, supposed to be very careful with their cultural heritage. And you know what if that's what the law is, I like to obey the law."The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I've always treated you with respect, whag - I'm really not wanting to get into a battle with you.
My feelings are not "cauterized" --- I've just seen a bunch of this over a number of decades, and I tend to like to wait to see what actually happens, rather than wildly speculate. And, no, I'm not accusing you of wildly speculating.
As for that Twitter account, go check how many likes it got. That fake bravado chest thumping fuels the fire that might get him elected again.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I honestly don't care how many likes a tweet gets. I'm not swayed by that.

My point with Twitter is that it reflects that his base is easily swayed by buffoonery. That should disturb you.
How do you know what "this" I'm talking about. The Iranian stuff goes way back to the Carter days.
And I never said we have.
Seriously, whag - have I ever done battle with you? Have I ever been anything but respectful to you?The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
