Is the war with Iran “worth it?”

The cost—at this point—is the loss of 13 American soldiers and scores more seriously wounded. If, as widely expected, combat operations resume those human costs will climb.

So too will gas prices and the prices of everything that depends upon oil.

President Trump knows this, of course, but stated plainly: Operation Epic Fury had to be undertaken.

The reason is quite simple. Iran intends to obtain nuclear weapons by any means possible. Their rulers are “crazy.”

Does not the rise in gas prices destroy at least the argument that the civilians bear no costs of war at least when it comes to this, the Iran War?

You may not like paying the sacrifice. But the cost of war is at least being felt beyond the military.

Iran simply cannot have a nuclear weapon.

This is an argument the country should and will have. It is one that is long overdue.
