Mr. Byrne. Some readers might wonder why Arabs would care on way or another about Iran.

The ancient Roman Empire was fearful of the much older Persian Empire. They were in constant competition for raw materials, labor and political influence in the same areas. As the Romans eventually began to gain the upper hand they employed Arabs as administrators in the Persian colonies. The hatred between Arabs and Persians is ancient and still alive.

Now, it seems that area of the world must tolerate the American/Israeli Empire.

One thing to remember, our tax dollars will be used to protect these people, just like $5 million every time rump goes to Florida.

Oh my Dear Ms Green, Your statement: “It’s always a lie and it’s always America Last. But it feels like the worst betrayal this time because it comes from the very man and the admin who we all believed was different” is more than a tad bothersome for those of us who had a slightly more thoughtful perspective concerning the Orange Oracle of grift and incompetence and his band of spineless sycophants as “different”. My point being, it’s that the MAGA nuts and “America First” dope asses like yourself would ever just now be coming to realize that “different,” in Trump’s case, IS “the lie that would make America Last,” when the rest of us could see that from the very start. So please shut up!

BB1961. Try to remember that Ms. green is a fellow citizen and is in the same boat as all of us. Calling her and people like her "dope asses" [sic.] is a harmful, divisive insult which does no good whatsoever. Far from "shutting up" it would be best for all of us to hear from people like her. That is what democracy is all about.

Your first 3 words were enough, and correct.

Republicans get concern when money gets wasted but not when lives are wasted (killed).
