Does the president of the United States of America have the right to declare war or to start wars against any country which he decides is an enemy of America? Does the congress of the United States have something to say about whether the country goes to war or not? Should we not, as a nation, have some control over whether or not war should be declared?
In the case of Iran, it may be a good thing that Trump has eliminated the Ayatollah (the scourge of the Middle East for 45 years). But there is a good probability, his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, now his successor–a man of no experience, background, and, probably, no plan for the future of Iran–will be even more dangerous. There needs to be a plan for what is to be done with him. But, instead, Donald Trump created a vacuum now filled by Khamenei, and, as is typical of Trump, he has no plan for the future. Now, we are all left with bated breath, waiting to see what happens. He has left us hanging and wondering, “are we on the brink of another full on global war?”
