Within 24 hours of my last post on the subject (below: "War could begin in 48 hours" ), America is now in a hot, kinetic world war with Iran and its international allies. Combat operations are in active operation.

"Stay sheltered," Mr. Trump told the Iranian people. "Don’t leave your home, it’s very dangerous outside. Bombs will be dropping everywhere. When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will, probably be your only chance for generations… now is the time to seize control of your destiny."

Questions affecting the destiny of Americans: Is this war Biblically justified? Did Congress approve it? What will be the American casualties at home and abroad? At what point will the war be declared over?

You do not park a $13.3 billion carrier where the enemy’s return fire will hit it unless you want the enemy’s return fire to hit it, and turn the war into an attack on America, and rally allies to the American cause of self-defense.
