This is 'seldom'

Uncharacteristically, President Trump acted appropriately and in defense of America's national interest in responding to the Iranian threat to our embassy in Iraq by taking out Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, the head of Iran's extraterritorial troublemaking force.

Good for him.

Even Donald Trump's impulsivity, erratic personality, and inconsistency can have good results on occasion, just as a broken clock is right twice a day.

An "act of war?" Hello! When rockets are shot into downtown Baghdad and Americans die, this is conventional diplomacy? And if there is one thing Iran, in particular, ought never to be allowed to get away without extraordinary consequences, it's messing with American embassies.

Sorry, but I have a hard time seeing our attack as an overreaction, and an even harder time seeing it as a provocation rather than a firm response to decades of Iranian provocations. Taking out the guy in charge of conducting state-sponsored terrorism against us in retaliation for state-sponsored terrorism seems to me to be only fitting and appropriate.

But lose the plans to commit war crimes, Donald Fredovich.
