This mocks Trump's desire to have input on the new leader of Iran. Nothing short of boots on the ground and all-out war will accomplish what Trump wants and even then, regime change is never certain. Trump is a fool playing President.

He won't listen. The shovel is in the ground.

Congress has the constitutional duty to declare war but it is supine before Trump. When will it stand up again?

Is Iran seeking peace? No one knows for sure, but even if it is, Trump and Netanyahu aren't listening. They are fixated on their desire to wipe out multiple levels of Iranian leadership. It's an example of mistrust of communications between opponents when a war is underway.

The rich get richer and the bottom 99 percent are left to struggle. Wyoming is the example of that. The wealthy in America have had a history of giving back. Will they do it this time?

Trump's militaristic approach to regime change in Iran generates questions about his strategy. He has killed the top leader and several of his henchmen but will that make a difference when real power apparently resides with the Revolutionary Guard? It is not clear at this point in the bombing campaign whether the guard has been destroyed. Secondly, Trump has called for Iranian citizens to rise up and take control of government. They did rise earlier this year and hundreds to thousands were slaughtered in the streets. Dare they do it again when the remnants of power are still willing to kill protestors? Third, as American history has shown time and again, even with boots on the ground, there is no guarantee Trump can establish a democratic government. Bombs are never enough. Is Trump a Rambo president?

No one likes a bully, but that is what Israel became in its destruction of Gaza. The American public's sympathy for Palestinians reflects Israel's disproportionate response to Hamas' original attacks.
