    Irresponsible decision from Israel, the initial exchange seemed justified with no reason to escalate things.

      It wasn’t justified by israel the first time either. Anyone with iq above room temperature knows Israel is doing all of this for a reason .

        To drag the US into an Afghanistan-style quagmire conflict with Iran, something American evangelicals and far-right military gumbas have been chomping at the bit for since the Carter Administration?

          We don’t want to go to war in the middle east. You are 100 percent right that some conservatives have been after that forever. Luckily I hope that as a nation we have grown past policing the world and being involved by sending troops. We can’t handle another war right now.

      You can’t fire 300 drones and ballistic missiles at a country and not expect a response back. It was so over the top they had to respond. The response is so mild I think we can all step back now
