6. The major media can't even ask the question. How hard is that?

Why did we enter Vietnam? "Communism ... (babble babble) ... Dominoes ... (babble babble) ..." etc.

Why did attack Iran? I have heard only two things that were even halfway coherent: 1) regime change, and 2) they were about to blow up the world with nukes.

Trump keeps saying they must make a deal or else we'll commit more war crimes. So what deal do we want, either for regime change or nukes?

We have done nothing that shows any intention of making Iranian lives any better. Not one word from Trump or Hegseth about that, so I think we can ignore the regime change thing.

So are we asking for a deal on nukes? We had a deal that was working and Trump tore that up. Is he negotiating a new nuke deal? It sounds more like he just wants to steal Iran's oil. It sounds like the "deal" is, give me half your oil and we’ll stop bombing you.

Seriously, why doesn't the media ask the most obvious questions?
