So because I started a thread... When I log on I have 120 fkn notifications. Basically for every post.

 

If someone replied to something I actually said, I'd never know as, it's buried in the other 120 'replied' notifications. 

 

@thehoosierhuddle I'm ready to stroke a check personally and pay for some legitimate forum software. This is so painful. 

@unclemark come on man. Why were you promoted other than to resolve this kind of stuff. Thought you were the closest thing we had to a IT guy. Then found out you pay your bills through the mail with a check.

So, I have many thoughts on this. On the one side, this is clearly an illegal war, both under US and international law. That can't be brushed away. And I've always been very skeptical of targeting heads of state. I just think that's a bad precedent. Not as bad as targeting diplomats, but pretty close. I think the world order requires we refrain from attack certain people, and heads of state fall into that category. I'm also not keen to be getting so aggressively involved in the Middle East again, although that's not exactly new, so it's not like that's a revelation out of left field.

But, realpolitik here, Khamenei was a bad guy. I never celebrate death. I think it's tacky and unbecoming of a civilized people. But cold, hard logic requires us to admit that there are some people whose shuffling off this mortal coil would objectively improve the world. Khamenei was probably one of those people. I guess we'll have to see how the Iranian regime and people respond to know for sure, but it's not like the world lost a hero today. The world lost a despot stuck in the 7th century who was untrustworthy and dangerous on a global scale. That's just the facts.

So, yeah. I don't celebrate death, but I do recognize the world is probably better without this guy, but even that math doesn't change the legal and moral problems with engaging in this operation to begin with.

Messy all around.

not illegal, just undocumented

Tehran blowing up again right now. I guess killing the Supreme Leader wasn't enough?

Sorry to disappoint. I was at the top of my game some 10-15 years ago, but it's a whole different world now and I stepped away from being anything but a user some time back. Even at that, I never had any expertise in website or web forum administration. Not to mention there were several people back on Rivals who had far more IT chops than I ever would have. Today, even though he's retired, Marvin would be in a far better position to help than me.

Tangent... Can you imagine the fallout if Sammy had been dumb enough to give me mod powers and I'd been the one to ban Murt/Sharin?

WaPo reporting that in addition to working in unison with the Israelis, Trump was encouraged to take action by Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

That wouldn't be a surprise.

Yeah, the flood of notifications is a right PITA. Even worse were the emails I was getting telling me someone had replied to my bullshit. I ended up setting up a filter in my email to trash all those "You have been mentioned..." emails.

@thehoosierhuddle if there's no way to allow the user to manage/configure how he gets notified, I'd rather see them (the notifications) done away with altogether.

It's clear. We're all in on taking down the regime. Don't think you can go back now. 

 

Several weeks minimum

Several weeks of missile strikes is still a far cry from troops on the ground.

Released videos of the airstrikes are pretty impressive in their ability and precision. How the hell did we accidentally bomb a school?

I believe it was the Israelis who did that. I'm sure it was unintentional, and while we would regret that greatly, I doubt the Israelis will care all that much.

Is it clear now that Tulsi, Vance and the rest of the isolationists are totally on the outs with this admin?

 

They weren't consulted..... Got sat at the kid's table while this went down. Basically the flunkies.

 

Rubio's chances of being the next POTUS went up exponentially IF this ends up working
