Rafael Grossi will be fired, and the "Trump is shouting over the fence that he has not made up his mind" quip is unserious snark and journalistic malpractice. He is giving time for the European hosted talks and a deal. If Iran does not agree to end its nuclear weapon ambition, then he gave diplomacy a try and US war involvement is better qualified.

Thanks, Frank, for your comment. The flamethrower analogy is intended to refer to the Iranian regime's insistence it has not decided to build a nuclear weapon, not President Trump's decision on whether or not to commit US forces.

Got it. Sorry I missed the meaning.

Dear David,

When I officiated at your Bar Mitzvah I read something that someone who had seen a copy of your speech wrote to you:

From your writing, I can see that you are a sensitive young person, one who cares deeply and responds to suffering with compassion. As you say – and you are right – complacency is not a Jewish value. You must keep this in mind always and help educate those who are not yet aware of the dangers of indifference in our world.

Those words were written by Elie Weisel .They obviously still ring true!
