Iran, Not Trump, Is in Control of This War

Made me think of my high school Latin class. We read Julius Caesar's account of his wars in Gaul. Somehow, I don't think English language classes will be reading Donald Trump's account of this war in Iran. Also, that war in Gaul in the end brought down the Roman Republic. It was so costly that that it led to a civil war.

Time moves on but history does repeat itself.
