The Cruel War Is Over - Or Is It?

Don Trump announced yesterday that the 12-day-old Israel-Iran War is over, thanks, undoubtedly, to his own astute military mind and his personal fortitude in sending other people's children into harm's way after campaigning on a promise not to do that very thing.  The day before yesterday three B-2 stealth bombers flew from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri to Iran where they each dropped one 30,000 pound, 20-foot-long "bunker-buster" bomb on sites that were thought to house underground fortresses where Iran had been making nuclear weapons.  Trump said in his Truth Social post yesterday that Iran and Israel had agreed to a cease fire.

Great news, great news!  But don't breakout the confetti just yet.  The elderly deal-maker with the long red tie and the bad combover has told a fib or to in his time, and there are more than a few skeptics among us who believe that it is likely he has never told the truth about anything.  All of that, and conflicts in the Middle East reach back generations and are compleex, not likely to be resolved with a bit of social media prattle out of Florida.

Let's hold off on the victory parades and see what the situation looks like a week from now.
