Looks like the war with Iran is cooking off

[putnam6]

There's a more optimistic viewpoint around if you look. LOL, can you imagine RN during the 1979 Iranian Hostage crisis? 

Talk about dire times. 

The fact of the matter is, this is unprecedented; in 1979, the incoming authoritarian Islamists did not have to worry about internal Iranian military or police. So much has changed, 

I can see the wide range of opinions, but as always, the truth is likely closer to the middle. 

Iran is unknown for the moment, but Lebanon is looking like it's ridding itself of Hezbollah; there's never been real peace in Lebanon, Beirut, Beqqua Valley, Litani River in my 60-plus years. Hopefully
