Let's order a strike on Iranian bases in retaliation for the drone--then cancel it at the last minute.

President Donald Trump ordered a military strike on Iran late Thursday, but reversed his decision after a plan was already underway, according to sources familiar with the matter.  The sources tell ABC News the president’s reason for changing course was unclear, but the reversal was against the advice of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and National Security Adviser John Bolton.

Likelihood of war?  Now it's up to Trump and his Iranian equivalent, General Hossein Salami, to exercise foresight and judgment to prevent that. Was going to add "LOL," but American and Iranian lives are in the balance right now.  Not funny.

Trump could recognize that some advisors may be backing him into corners where there are only bad choices.  Or as news of his personal indecisiveness and his NSC's absence of decision-making protocol become public, he may need to "fix that" with some decisive, if ill-considered action.  And that very soon.

Naw!

I like my idea better. It is more sane and humanitarian.
