  7. “The black S.U.V. carrying Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived at the White House just before 11 a.m. on Feb. 11. The Israeli leader, who had been pressing for months for the #UnitedStatesOfAmerica to agree to a major assault on #Iran, was whisked inside with little ceremony, out of view of #reporters, primed for one of the most high-stakes moments in his long career.”

    “Mr. #Netanyahu and his team outlined conditions they portrayed as pointing to near-certain victory: Iran’s ballistic missile program could be destroyed in a few weeks.

    The regime would be so weakened that it could not choke off the #StraitOfHormuz, and the likelihood that Iran would land blows against U.S. interests in neighboring countries was assessed as minimal.”

    As near a root-cause analysis as you will get. Did the USA government try regime change in the wrong country?

    I dunno why I went with those names. 🤔

    My gay fathers were Charles Dickens and Jonathan Swift on one night of sublimely angry sex, so I can't help it. Chuck carried me, of course. Poor guy thought he had gout for years...

  22. And now for some fun with classical music. Telemann wrote this suite in 1728, two years after the Jonathan Swift classic was published, and it humorously refers to some of his creations with the music.

    "Intrada Suite for Two Violins (The Gulliver Suite)," composed by Georg Philipp Telemann, performed here by uncredited artists.
