Presidents Obama and Biden understood the infeasibility of eradicating Iran's nuclear aspirations solely by force, hense, they chose diplomacy. Those two wise presidents reserved thoughts of bombing as the last resort.

Trump thought he could order the dropping of a few dozen bombs and then be on his way to the Nobel Peace Prize.

I am worried about what will happen from this point forward. I think a restrained approach should prevail. I am afraid that Trump will order more bombings to bolster his ego.
