Going to war should be one of the most difficult decisions a president can make. People will die. That is the very definition of war. But instead of acting with gravitas following his choice to start a war with Iran, Donald Trump and his administration have celebrated the killing and devastation.
In comments to reporters at his Miami resort on March 9, nine days after the war began, the president raised the possibility of all but destroying Iran if they don’t “behave.” He boasted about killing their “sick,” “crazy” and “demented” leaders, calling it “a great honor.”
