To the editor: Typically an image is price way over a thousand phrases. The photograph accompanying contributing author Jon Duffy’s opinion piece speaks — no, shouts — 1000’s and 1000’s of phrases (“Trump isn’t prepared to just accept his strategic failures in Iran,” April 7).
It exhibits President Trump talking about his struggle on Iran. Has any American president ever publicly regarded like this? What phrases are there to explain it? Indignant, retributive, uncontrolled, hateful, self-absorbed, belligerent, vindictive.
The issue is, he seems like this a lot of the time any time he offers a speech. What volumes does this say about him? Extra importantly, what total deadly libraries does it say about us?

To the editor: It appears to me {that a} highschool geography pupil might take a look at a map of the Persian Gulf and plainly see that probably the most strategic space within the area is the Strait of Hormuz. So why didn’t the U.S. army deploy its property there within the first days of the battle as an alternative of spending billions on bombs blowing up central Iran? As Duffy writes, “Destruction is just not the identical as management.”
World Warfare II was gained as a result of the U.S. left the technique as much as the the army leaders, not the political hawks.
