A topic I only briefly covered in my previous post concerning the Operation Epic Error (oops, I mean, Fury, not Error), concerned what may or may not occur in Iran following the change in regime. Yes, I think it’s a given that the regime will fall. I knew that in the first hour. I just don’t believe it’s our business to decide which regimes are better or worse for another country. Imagine if we were subject to the same by other countries. Since it is regime change, the question becomes how this happens post conflict?

Above everything else, people are human. As people we are bound to make mistakes as much as we are able to be successful in any of our endeavors. We tend not to dwell on the blunders we make and depending on the seriousness, usually mentally write it off to ourselves a kind of teachable moment. The problem is, with most of us, we are incapable of learning from history, even our personal history, and continue to make the same mistakes again and again. They may be clothed to look like something new, but mostly not.

Where are all of the atheists? There used to be a large number of atheists online, especially on Twitter (X). Today, I look under a couple of common hashtags on X and there’s almost no one around. So, I looked up a few that we used to follow each other. Their accounts are still there but in a couple of cases, there hasn’t been any activity in years. Was it that long ago that I would log on to Twitter and be able to have interesting conversations with others?

I woke up this morning and thought how nice it was to be an atheist. No, my thought had nothing to do with being exempt from Sunday religious services, but that, as an atheist, I am unburdened with the whip-saw action of those of at least two of the Abrahamic faiths concerning the current conflict with Iran. It must especially be difficult to be a Christian and against this latest incursion in the middle east. I’ve almost lost count of how many times we’ve interfered militarily in one or another country’s issues since the end of World War 2. Suffice to say, major and minor incursions do add up. But since I’m not a Christian, I am immune from the arrows of disgust from those Ziobists pretending to be Christians to other Christians that have a disdain for Zionism.

I knew this was coming, and soon. No surprise about the timing either:of course the execution is going to happen over a weekend and also when least expected: Like shabbat for Israel and of course Ramadan for Iran. For the Americans? Just another
Friday night, Saturday morning. I’m disappointed. I was hoping that there would be no war with Iran no matter how hard the Israeli government was pressing ours as well the the black commentary of our own Fifth columnists (Yes, you know who I am referring to here).
