My concern is for your 18, 22, 27 year old child.

Right.

Yeah.

What are we doing?

Why are we allowing this to happen and allowing ourselves to get browbeat into this?

Oh, on top of that, Tim.

It creates a very uncomfortable partnership.

And in this case, the tail, Bibi, is wagging the dog, Trump.

And that is one of the most obvious facets of this, in that when you look at the situation before, the level of restraint that other administrations, Republicans and Democrats, have used in this regard with respect to Iran,

was justified, right?

You just can't go yippee-ki-yay into the Middle East because of the very thing you just noted about the security concerns being of one nation outweighing the security of the region.

And so there's always been this delicate balance.

I know this firsthand.

I worked on the original Iranians claimed trombone at at the at the end of the Iranian hostage.

The firm was Suria Morse back in the early 80s.

That is impossible.

You were working on that in the early 80s?

Were you an intern?

I had just gotten back from the seminary.

And after I left Augustinians, moved back to Washington, landed at Surrey & Morse.
