The American deep state and President Trump agree

 

War with Iran, they think, would be good for business.

 

In the Deep State's case, for money, prestige and increased security state autocratic control.

 

And in Trump's, for his 2020 election and Kingship prospects.

 

 

So now

 

After murdering an Iranian general (Qassem Soleimani) — for no legally or strategically justifiable reason — the United States (via President Trump's tweets) is threatening to attack 52 sites, cultural locations among them:

 

 

"Let this serve as a WARNING that if Iran strikes any Americans, or American assets, we have.........targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD," he said.

 

"The USA wants no more threats!"

Fifty-two attacks, that is, if Iran does not passively roll over and accept America as the Supreme Dispenser of Planetary Truth and Justice.

 

 

The moral? — In Christ's name (among others) . . .

 

It is about time we Americans take an honest look at ourselves.

 

Is unrelentingly brainless viciousness how we want History to define us?

 

It is incoherent to accuse others of terrorism, when we are — consistently and intentionally or not — that Slaughter's numerically chief instigator.
