By Friday morning, I was wondering: was it necessary to enter this war at all, especially against the Iranians? Shiites are historically prepared to endure suffering. I recalled their readiness to sacrifice as they proved during the eight years of attrition with Iraq. I advise that we minimize losses and that you turn to Trump to stop this madness through a reasonable agreement, otherwise we will find ourselves ultimately begging for a ceasefire, and Iran will refuse.
