What makes the difference between an article that opens with

Peace be upon you

and one that doesn't?

I wish I could be a paying subscriber. However I am a Widow with a very small income so I will have to be happy with what I get unpaid. Your article is so very true and so easy to understand. I have screamed since Trump won the election that we were in so much trouble. And much more is coming!!!

1. Iran apparently removed the enriched uranium, so we didn't get it.

2. IMO, Vance is much worse than Trump. Vance invents the sick ideas that Trump spews once he market tests the appeal. Impeach Trump, and we get Vance, with Johnson as back-up. I'd say scarier than Trump.

Follow the money. AIPAC owns us- and much of the world.

If Obama did this, the praise from Democrats would be flowing and the condemnation from Republicans vitriolic.

This was so well-articulated. As a PsyD student, I keep thinking about how impunity becomes contagious — when global powers act without consequence, we’re teaching every future regime what’s “permissible.”

What does global order even mean if the biggest violators keep writing the rules?

Trump's action is not within the scope of his authority...I demand no immunity for these war crimes...Gaza and Iran...our constitution required Congressional approval which he did not ever seek...and Gaza, he just wants it cleared so Kushner can develop the land.

I demand we know which countries have been filtering crypto into his account...Americans have a right to know...I want to see Trump and his family die in prison

This feels like deja vu all over again! During Bush II, I worried he would reinstate the draft and my son might get called up. Now, I worry about a grandson. I’ve seen political cartoons that imply that Barron has an appointment with a podiatrist, as apparently he wouldn’t get called up. At this point I’m ready to just put those three old men in a fight cage and let them work out their frustrations and the rest of us lead a normal life!

I feel sick. Why can’t human beings (in general - I know there are many who are acutely aware) learn there are other ways to solve problems than rampant aggression and killing? It’s absurd to think we are superior in any way - we’re equally as red in tooth and claw. We need to grow up, or we will eliminate ourselves through our own stupidity and arrogance.

Wonder if any of these 3 incompetents will even hear to roar of anguish from the millions around them "WE told you not to!"

Probably not. Such is the reason why we are in this situation in the first place.

I am beyond enraged by this - I was so afraid this was coming. If they don’t impeach trump now then they never will. Fascism sucks - I just sent an email to my reps two days ago about not attacking Iran. Gonna send another and call. Picturing the devastation has me just sick to my marrow - this country has done nothing to us. We are the evil empire from Star Wars and anyone who doesn’t see that is lying to themselves.

*Correction : Book of Numbers 12:1-16 Moses Sister and Brother judged GOD'S creativity by criticizing Moses wife Zipporah, an Ethiooian woman, because GOD chose to create this human with " Dark Flesh". GOD severely punished Moses Sister with a CURSE and would not remove it when Moses asked HIM to. GOD said :Numbers 12:10-16

She(Miryan) was cursed with leprous, her skin was turned white as snow. Please read and know GOD gets revenge on all that Judge HIS choices, HIS Marvelous work to be creative in HIS Skin Color Choices. HE alone is "I AM that I AM".Amen🛐💯‼️⚘️

Remember: GOD ordained the Marriage of Moses and Zipporah the color of their skin Did Not Matter!! ABBA chose her father Jethro ( A High Priest) to mentor Moses on how to manage the large multitude of people he was chosen by GOD to lead. We are the HIMAN race, with a Multitude of Ethnicities, Flesh and Blood created equally by Almighty GOD.Amen

🚨⚡️Racisim is from HaSatan not our creator,Almighty GOD.⚡️🚨

Thank you ABBA🛐

Bluster is cheap. American lives and bombs aren’t. How much did the bombs Trump dropped on Iran cost? Why do Americans have to sacrifice their Medicare, Social Security and healthcare to fund Trump's war on Iran and make Pentagon profiteers like Raytheon richer?

The photos tell us all we need to know. Three men, either driven mad by the power they think they wield. or rendered numb/dumb by the futility of their thoughts. All three surrounded by sycophants and echo chambers, all three driven into inescapable corners by lifetimes of faulty thinking.

As always, Qasim, you give us discerning truth, and with your lifetime of human rights experience, you are accurate. thank you again. I don't know how we're going to get this totally unqualified and reckless EGO out of the WH, and educate the American people, that might does not mean right. But we must not falter, and keep at it, or our nation goes down into the dustbin of history.
