Thank goodness Bill's consistent questionable Iran war analysis has finally given way to a concept most of his readers probably agree with which is the US government and its mostly incompetent/slimy politicians and millions of bureaucrats are the ones that will ultimately lead the US to its demise.

Well, Bill you have consistently argued that Trump unjustifieable initiated the "War" with Iran. So just to be clear, enemy combatants are not "Murdered" they are killed. Try to keep your diengenious morality out of an otherwise cogent analysis of the American debt crisis, of which I believe, most of your readers will agree with.

Murder the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.

IMHO I find it difficult to describe the premeditated and surely unlawful killing of of the Ayatollah and the top brass of Iran's security cluster as anything other than murder.

The killing was deliberate and premeditated. Trying to describe it as lawful as it occurred without trial and without warning while negotiations were taking place. i find difficult to get my head around.

I have very little sympathy for their loss of life but to describe it as anything other than murder is not honest

I very much like the humility in your comments. Humility is a very hard concept to understand, but like porn when you see it one knows what it is. The rest of the murder discussion is just semantics and perspective. Both of which lead as opinions, both of which we have. 😀

In 10 years will anyone say "gee, I wish we hadn't eliminated the Iranian nuclear bomb threat?"

Or in ten years will we be saying what the hell happened to the US? We've been spending trillions on war this century while we slowly collapse.

The fatal flaw: the Constitution does not require a balanced budget. Worse: our massive debt does not ordain frugality.

Instead, both major political parties continue spending galore and our dictator continues meddling in the affairs of other nations none of which are a threat to us.

No wonder more and more Americans are moving to better managed countries.

I would like to know which countries seem better-managed so I can move there. As long as the US will continue to police the world so I don't have to worry about Iranian-style strong-arming non-nuclear countries.

I omitted a key phrase: "...moving, in their opinion, to etc."

How do you spell debt crisis in US… Military Industrial Congressional Complex .

How can Trump go against Netanyahu if Mossad`s agent, Epstein, gave the Israeli authorities a lot of leverage over him? The same could perhaps be said for other members of the US elite, and even some Europeans. The Israelis have them by the b--ls.
