This morning as I left Planet Fitness, I saw this in the sky and thought Hilton Head was being attacked by a ballistic missal from Iran:
It turns out, though, that it was a Space-X launch from Cape Canaveral. How disappointing!
I exercise Monday through Friday at a gym getting there before 5 AM. Of course there are televisions galore to watch as one exercises. I spend 45 minutes on the elliptical machine. As with the first Gulf War, when I was exposed to war in real time, live and on television, I felt I was watching a war show in order to be entertained.
I thought to myself, self, this is really sick. And thus it has been ever since that first Gulf war. War live and in person on your television set thanks to modern technology and 24 hour news stations. How entertaining!
Of course it is insidiously evil!
Prior to typing this, I was able to watch live on Fox an incoming ballistic missal attack on Tel Aviv on Fox and Friends. It was really exciting and really entertaining to see how the Israeli’s missal defense works and to hear all those air-raid sirens going off and all those great explosions in real time! What a thrill.

Of course some prefer that the Iranian people remain enslaved and murdered by its government. I guess that's "nice."
Instead of posturing, read this, written by a journalist with a brain and a sense of reality (not New York Times, obviously):

So you are enjoying the Reality TV Show…
No, I do not try war in such a cavalier way. Real people die, but the present situation was untenable. Have you already forgotten "Peace in Our Time?"
i bavevyet to see anything that would make this war—and yes, it is a war—a just war, or anything close to it. Trump in his second term sure seems to talk and act a lot like a Bush.

We have been at war with this evil regime since 1979, Neville
Oy, when AutoCorrect doesn't kick in for some reason... "I have yet to see..."
And now Israeli has bombed whole swathes of Beirut after telling the civilians who have their homes and businesses in the wrong places to scram. Neville Chamberlain, eat your heart out!
