I've spent half a century studying human violence, and I have to say that "managing" war is impossible, but the survivors can manage the message, which is why there's so many books about the same wars.

Thank you for your post! It clarified my thoughts! I do support President Trump and his team. I believe Iran will have some type of people's government and the world will be free of the threat of nuclear war. World trade will bring prosperity and peace throughout the world.

Sunny, thank you for this spot on piece. One addition to focus upon what the future for the region may hold: With two joint-economic development committed nuclear power bookends (India and Israel), Iran (a new western-allied government) will sit at the fulcrum of a positively leveraged and focused Middle East and Central Asia. With Abraham Accords signatories above the latitude connecting Tel Aviv-Tehran-Delhi and below, the positive possibilities are endless! Hands in praying position for IRGC unconditional surrender!

You are most welcome George. What part of the story did you find most interesting, if you don't mind! I really appreciate your participation in my Substack.

Sunny, I liked the opening contrast between the objective of WWII which was total victory, unconditional surrender of the Nazi and Imperial Japanese, and the half hearted, self-sacrificial wars the US entered over the years that followed, which wasted our treasure and cost the lives of our troops. The Iran war, for the first time, announced the objective of defeat of the Iranian regime. If that holds, this will be a moral victory for the U.S. and Israel. One can never be sure of anything with Trump, but I have my fingers crossed that a secular Iran will emerge when the dust settles.
