On the Iran War

The following is an open letter to my federal representation:

I (and more than half the country) find the strategy for the Iran war flawed,  and that its start was illegal and unconstitutional.  The flawed strategy shows up,  in that it took a month of war,  for Trump’s goals to finally be stated coherently.  The illegal start was that this is not part of the war on terror that the war powers delegation act authorized,  this was an attack on another country (terrorist regime or not),  something only Congress can authorize!

 I do not know who our people are negotiating with,  but they are not the rulers of Iran anymore,  the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is!  Being the terrorist army of violent extremists that they are,  they do not want to stop this war,  they would rather die than stop!  Trump and Netanyahu’s “regime change” killing the clerics and officials,  has not been successful at all,  they made it worse with only the IRGC now in charge.  And they have turned the Iranian people against us,  more so than against their own evil regime.

I rather doubt the ceasefire is going to hold,  especially with both Netanyahu and Iran already violating it,  on its first day.  After almost a month and a half of bombing,  there’s mostly just civilians and their infrastructure left to bomb,  and that’s a war crime under US and international law!  Hegseth’s ongoing purge of high officers who might oppose Trump,  has left in charge those more willing to commit that war crime for him!  And THAT is very dangerous indeed!

It is way past time for Congress to step in and set this right,  and finish this war correctly!  Which means I want you to get up and start taking actions to correct Trump’s egregious errors!
