Baghdad Airport

The pictures of Baghdad Airport shocked me ... reminding me of any major airport anywhere in the world.

How would we feel if some superpower sent a guided missile to O'Hare, or LAX, or anyone of our major airports?

This is clearly an act of war.

Will it unify the people of Iran?

An act of terrorism against any of our airports would likely unify us, at least for the moment. It's the very nature of a nation to rally around the flag in a moment of crisis.

Have we really stepped in it this time?

Has the President made a disastrous move from which there may come a great deal of harm?

Iran is no third-rate nation ... its power doesn't match ours, of course, but it's powerful enough, and has the means to retaliate.

What hath this man's insanity wrought?

Will the State of Israel now loose the dogs of war? Netanyahu certainly could use a crisis to avert eyes from his malfeasance.

And the evangelicals, of course, can only cheer, because Armageddon will usher in the Second Coming of Christ, and a new world order wherein LGBTQs will vanish, women will know their place and be pregnant all the time, and evangelicals will sit on thrones to rule the world, singing fervently, "Just as I Am."
