And so the United States is at war (again). This time it appears to be at the whim of one man, the "stable genius" Donald Trump.  There was little, if any, attempt to get congressional approval, or form an international coalition (other than with Israel), or coordinate with neighboring nations in the region, or make a case to the American people, or allow negotiations to run their course.  The goal is unclear.  The reputational damage will be extensive and lasting.  The economic costs will be great.  Who can say at this point how extensive the human toll will be?  The U.S., under Trump and the sycophantic Republicans, has now become a rogue nation.
