Iraq and Suleimani
Some thoughts on
Suleimani's death
- last week at this time an optimist like me could look at the Middle East and seen some good signs.
- in Iran there had been recent demonstrations against the government
- in Iraq there were protests against the influence of Iran on Iraqi affairs.
- today there seems to be unity both in Iraq and Iran against the US. We'll have to see how long it lasts, but it will be a while
- I'd like to think the decision memo presented to our President would have predicted these consequences and he would have weighed them in making his decision, but I doubt it.
