The House passed a resolution to limit President Trump's ability to engage in hostilities
against Iran under the 1973 War Powers Resolution, as Democrats attempt to reassert
Congress" constitutional authority to declare war amid a tense standoff with the Islamic
Republic. The vote passed mostly along party lines, with three Republicans joining the
Democrats to vote in favor and eight Democrats voting against. Mr. Trump on Thursday called the strike that killed Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani "the anti-Benghazi." Mr. Trump said Wednesday Iran appeared to be "standing down" after a week of soaring tension between the two countries. By Thursday, however, there were mixed messages.

There definitely need to be controls on Trump, but also on other leaders who are trying to bypass the democratic process. They go all-out to discredit the existing political systems as well as the media so they can control the agenda. Trump considers himself a tough businessman, but I wonder if he really wants to get into actual wars where lots of Americans are likely to die. Striking out is easier than negotiating which may not look so good to voters even if it's better for the world.

This has been a very perplexing affair. I consider myself a dreamer and I wish the whole world would just get along with each other, but I know that's not gonna happen. I also know that historically humanity has been defined and forged through confrontations. This is a never-ending cycle.

Of course, with the current development in warfare, having wars here and there is not what it used to be, both in the kind of destruction caused and in the effect such conflicts might have in the rest of the world.

In this particular affair we know there is a lot at stake, we know there is radicalism on both sides, and we know that no side will benefit in any way from an all-out war.

Even if an official war is averted, there will be terrorist attacks here and there. It is beyond my understanding why, with all the intelligence, all the technology and all the high-tech war devices the world cannot get rid of those who just seem to live to cause chaos and destruction.

I think that time proved conspiracy theorists right when we see how the war on terror became some kind of business. Weapon manufacturers and all other businesses involved sem to be the only ones profiting from a problem that seems very convenient not to solve completely.

I think that Iran has overstated its military capacity and I think the USA has also overstated their intentions of punishing beyond repair.

It would be great if at the end of the day the whole affair would be solved as a business transaction, but, again, whenever we have religious fanatics involved we can expect more irrationality added up.
