I agree with you. I don’t think Iran is going to become more peaceful and democratic. If anything, they will become even more violent and vengeful towards Israel and the U.S.

Trump and Netanyahu just poured gasoline on an already smoldering fire.

I worry about terrorist attacks targeting Americans here and abroad. And I do think they will go after Trump and his kin, as well as Netanyahu.

The former should concern us all. We are all less safe now than we were yesterday.
