Ed, again, great post. One small correction. Israel assassinated the Iranian leadership. It is illegal for anyone, including the President to assassinate a head of state. This resulted from the Church Committee investigation of CIA activities. 18 U.S.C. § 1116: This U.S. statute criminalizes the killing or attempted killing of foreign officials, official guests, or internationally protected persons.

Im sorry but I think it’s clear that our regime doesn’t respect laws or traditions

"Regime Change: It doesn’t work. And yet here we are, trying it again, and expecting different results. The definition of insanity."

Thanks for courage to speak out.

Re: Your closing sentiment- you're assuming that the orange one can learn. Not so sure about that.

Wow… for the article overall, and for my emotional reaction to its fatalism. However, there‘s not one aspect, I could disagree with. I wonder, Ed, which opinion you have on this subject outside of your professional role. As in, what do you say to your gf for instance? I mean, it was important to get a viewpoint, that counterbalances everyone else‘s nonchalant position towards the Iran situation/war/escalation, you name it. I just hope in hindsight, the article could be labelled as an overreactive position. In any case, great job.
