The ‘peace president’ was right to go to war

Excerpt

President Donald Trump entered his second term promising to measure America’s success not only by the battles we win but the ones we end. Operation Epic Fury has become the largest test of that vision. Trump’s critics call it a “war of choice.”

They are partly right. Trump has finally decided to end the 47-year war the Islamic Republic of Iran has waged against us, and do so on America’s terms.
