Biting wit AND profoundly moving when need be (I have an M.A. in Comp. Lit from Rutgers and have taught English Comp at several universities; only telling you this Joshua so that you understand I know what I'm talking about).

This was the kick-ass moment so many of us have been wishing for and waiting for. And from the details that we've been able to see in these early moments, it went beyond anything we could have hoped for. The major threat to Israel's existence has been defanged, broken and bloodied. Am Yisrael Chai!

Joshua, thank you for writing Iran's first obituary. And, thank you for the great artwork with the Israeli jets. If you ever launch a line of T-Shirts, I'd like to pre-order a dozen large.

What artwork? Where can I find it? Good comment. about Iran's obit, but like Mark Twain once said, maybe a bit premature.

yes, I probably jumped the gun, so to speak. But sometimes a boy just can't help himself...

The artwork I had in mind was the image at the top of this article that shows Israeli jets attacking a nuclear installation.

Ah, the AI generated image. It's great! Yes, I'm juiced as well. Israeli showed the world that you don't mess with the Jews. Absolutely awesome.

Yes, indeed. There's still some blood and tears on the way. The beast is in its death throws, but it will do its utmost to cause some pain before it crawls back to hell.

The western world owes Israel its thanks. Probably won’t happen, but I will add mine. Thank you, Israel. Now if only the US had the courage to drop a big bunker buster…

The day you knew that would come. I've no doubt the fanatics in Teheran would use their nuclear devices the moment they would be available. It's such an embarrassement for the Islamists that regime change might be around the corner.

I hope regime change comes quickly. The people have to rise up!

Looking forward to today’s liberal newscasts. Wondering how they will handle this. Should be an interesting news day.

I'm loving the comments elsewhere by all the fools who are so certain that what Israel has done will be the start of war. No, this is how to prevent the start of future wars!

Yes! One of my first thoughts along with, "interesting Israel chose a Friday." A little extra or as my grandmother would say, "they shoved the umbrella in, and then opened it."

Unfortunately yes. Where IS the CIA when you need them? This is the moment they should be there helping regime change happen. Oh wait, it has nothing to do with corporations making money. Never mind.

Thank you Joshua for an inspirational, accurate and beautifully written essay about what led to Israel's attack on Iran. You are spot on. This is an article that I will forward to everyone I know who cares about Israel and the free world.
