Having survived into the 21st Century, one would think that we humans had learned to resolve our differences peacefully. Unfortunately, that is not the case.
After breaking ties with most of our historic allies and having made only a half-hearted attempt at negotiations, King Trump has launched an attack on Iran, intent on dislodging the brutal regime of that country (and, of course, gaining access to its oil); Israel is our only co-participant. Neither Congress nor our historic allies were consulted prior to the attack.
No doubt, Trump wants full credit for what he apparently expects to be a brief and successful campaign. While few if any countries would mourn the downfall of the Iranian regime, most would surely have favored a unified economic and political effort to achieve that goal. War should never be the first choice but Trump prefers to bask in the power that he wields.
