From Israel: A Moral Imperative!!
Peloni: It is hard to hear the reports coming out of Iran, and indeed the videos which are emerging raise recollections of the scenes of animalistic butchery which took place on October 7. Like Arlene, I am still convinced that the promised support for the Iranians is coming. To think anything else honestly strikes me as being unthinkable. When it does come, whatever form it takes, Trump’s response must be robust, and encompassing. The butcher’s bill paid by the many thousands and tens of thousands of Iranian victims who answered Trump’s call to protest deserves nothing less.

Abraham Lincoln, flagship of the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group, is underway conducting routine operations in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Joey Sitter) The appearance of U.S. Department of War (DoW) visual information does not imply or constitute DoW endorsement.
Before I address the imperative that is at the heart of this posting, I want to back up and provide a bit of the analysis I had been promising while I focused on Gaza.
