All this Iran stuff -- a New York Times article said yesterday that the advisers who are still left, working with Pres. Trump, presented him with a list of options -- killing Suleimani was one of the options, and a spokesman said advisers were "flabbergasted" when Trump chose the murder option.
My first thought was -- you could avoid being flabbergasted by not including an inflammatory killing as one of the options. Just leave that one out, and show him the other options.
When I used to sell advertising, I would have two or three different advertising plans (X number of ads for the year, at such-and-such price, and an outline of how and when they might use the commercials to the best advantage of their business). The largest money investment got the customer the best per-ad rate, etc. ... I didn't include an option that said "I'm not buying any advertising, screw off."
Of course they could always say that anyway, but -- you know -- don't hand them over the option. Don't suggest your worst-case scenario.
Is it worth it to kill this one guy and now it may go nuclear and the planet and all people on it will be destroyed?
Last night I was listening to You Tube videos, trying to learn what is happening and why.
You can watch any of these videos -- I don't know if they come up if you type them on Google, but they will if you type them on You Tube.
