I pray that I am wrong … but I have the same feeling now that I had in 2003 when President Bush flew out to the USS Abraham Lincoln and declared “Mission Accomplished” in Iraq.
1) I’m hopeful that the Iranian regime and their proxies are so weakened that they cannot cause significant damage to Israel
and U.S. military bases in the region.
2) Given #1, could the Iranian regime pledge to negotiate as a way to avoid further damage to their infrastructure, even if such a move would not be in earnest?
3) I agree that the long-term solution is for regime change from within. Perhaps the current situation will encourage moderate voices within the country to seek an alternative solution, though it’s unlikely to happen anytime soon.

I have been chomping at the bit awaiting your assessment. You know more than I, but, based on what we do know, Ralph and I came to the same conclusion...Thank you, Bruce!
Well now we need a comment from you on the so called peace deal and the status of the Iranian nuclear program. Thx Bruce.
Well articulated, Bruce.
