It'll be OK

Is this the US Golden Age as the President declares?
Not sure it is.
However, no terrifying war this week, so there's a win.

It seems to me that the problem has always been defining what this war was about. At the beginning, President Trump mentioned regime change, but that didn't happen. The mad mullahs remain, battered but hydra-like. If removing their ability to create nukes was the point, he needed to say so... But how will he stop them buying nukes? The world is going to rearm, big time, and where there's a buyer there's a seller. Maybe Iran's government will sit there, defanged, waiting for the 12th mahdi. Maybe.

Anyway, the point is I don't want to die, and I don't want anyone else to die. I wish you a grand season, wherever you are and whoever you are. Here's an old poem of mine that sounds fatuous given all that's going on, but still. It may be stupid or blatantly untrue but I have decided to believe it.
