Extremists in Iran are certainly promoting the same "we will kill you" lies that are also being promoted by extremists in America. It did not start this month. The US all but declared war on Iran for reasons contradicted by every major world power. It is causing a major threat to a moderate Iranian government for the same reason wacko extremists in the US in Oct 1963 wanted nuclear war. without provocation, launched onto every communist nation in the world.

As Curtis LeMay said, if two Americans survive and only one Russian, then we win. Extremist that required a major political confrontation to restrain.

Is war inevitable? We know the Don views war as acceptable. He views war as another way to make himself popular. It has always been his nature. Apparently a major confrontation by the Don's people finally got him to change to a sane decision - with only ten minutes to spare. He did not change his mind because 150 people might be killed. He can even kill someone on Fifth Ave and not be prosecuted. It is both his attitude and contempt for honesty.

Iran clearly has same problems. Extremists, in part to embarrass their moderate government, may have arbitrarily launched those attacks. And others with drones in Saudi Arabia. For the same reason Curtis LeMay order something like 200 American aircraft to intentionally violate Soviet Union sovereignty.

LeMay said we are already at war with the Soviets. Americans just do not know it yet. We can be damn sure similar conversations are happening in Iran. In both nations, confrontations between moderates and extremists is getting hotter. With extremists doing whatever they can to provoke confrontation.
