Some misread this as me saying the war was a good idea. It wasn't. I suspect people have a hard time comprehending that the U.S. might actually lose this war and suffer a strategic defeat. They're not thinking through consequences of that defeat which would be disastrous for America and indeed the Western world. I wish this war never happened. There are no easy choices anymore. Iran won't simply let the U.S. go home if they think they're winning. That's not how wars with regional powers end. We then should take some serious war measures and reforms and the United States of America and any allies it can find might manage to achieve a strategic win. Those difficult wartime reforms are the conversation I'd like to start today rather than day 100 or day 200 of the war.
