Fanatics, an obsessive, and a belligerent foolWe don't have to look very far to find a useful historical analogy for the current crisis in the Middle East. Dozens of Iranian leaders were killed, but the regime did not collapse. The Iranian leaders who are in power now are only there because the Americans and Israelis killed everybody more senior than them. And Mr Trump is beside himself with rage and fear: "Open the F**kin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Mr Trump knows he has been suckered into Mr Netanyahu's war, and he sees defeat looming in the mid-term election this November.
