...I just knew there had to be lots of wounded, but they were saying nothing, and I suppose our "press" didn't press very hard for info, if at all. I feel bad for all those well-meaning soldiers who were doing their duty. Unfortunately, their orders were coming from madmen.

As for #2, Trump deserves some intense humiliation, as do his supporters. No doubt some of us well-meaning people will suffer at the same time.

And #3, I will cry no tears for Bibi Netanyahu. He should have been jailed long ago, a lot like Trump. Again, lots of innocent civilians are caught up in the slaughter, and whose fault is that?

Your last point is too dark, and it assumes there will be no one in Trump's circle and no one in Bibi's circle that can talk some sense into them. It might look that way now, but everything is subject to change. No one is invincible.
