I was thinking the same thing. Let’s hope that cooler heads prevail, or that the regime implodes without taking the rest of the world down with it.

Tyrannies rarely go quietly. The tyrants try to hold on to the last man and use external enemies they gin up to divert people from their troubles.

Hitler was a different case because of the way WW1 ended. WW1 was the prime cause of WW2. WW1 was a family squabble we should stayed out of. If we had, the war would have ended with a negotiated peace as the Triple entente powers had bled themselves white in butchery under the guise of military operations. Versailles was an unjust peace, and the world paid for it in spades.

As for Iran (Persia) read Ezekial chapters 38 and 39. You will see this material again in the newspapers in the not too distant future.

Virgil –
When we were young, in our teens and twenties, we called our parent’s home Toad Hall. It is a complicated story about polar toads and toads that ran on zones at our mooring.
Needless to say, my brothers were all toads and my father to his dying day was the “big toad”.
I have a small toad that I keep by the kitchen sink, in the sun. It was my mother’s toad…

Go Gently, indeed.

I still think that an Israeli/U.S. strike against Iran (re Nukes) is our best/necessary course of action, though my crystal ball isn’t working no matter how hard I shake it.

History will let us know if we made the right decision.
