We cannot bomb our way out of every problem, and the Middle East is more of a powder keg at this moment that it has been in a very long time. Provoking Iran is a significantly higher level of risk than any of our other Mid East ventures. We should ask why we have forces in all of those countries to begin with….! No one should think this is only in retaliation for three American deaths. None of it is protecting our troops; it is endangering our troops. We have so normalized war that I think many people might not realize how significant a danger this is.
