The US Constitution and the UN Charter sharply restrict going to war for very good reasons.
This horrible tragedy wouldn't have occurred if one man didn't decide to launch this illegal war on a whim.
Those children would still be alive.

Breaking News: Thirty-two countries will release 400 million barrels of oil to help shore up global supply as the war with Iran rages on.
The school, in the town of Minab, is on the same block as buildings used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Navy, a top target of the U.S. military strikes. The site of the school was originally part of the base. Officials briefed on the inquiry said the building was not always used as a school, though it is not clear precisely when the school opened on the site. A visual investigation by The Times showed the building housing the school had been fenced off from the military base between 2013 and 2016.
Satellite imagery reviewed by The Times showed that watchtowers that once stood near the building had been removed, three public entrances were opened to the school, ground was cleared and play areas including a sports field were painted on asphalt, and walls were painted blue and pink.
When the Defense Intelligence Agency’s targeting data is older, intelligence officers are expected to use imagery or data from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency to update and verify the target.

Sen. John Cornyn announced he supports scrapping the filibuster if needed to pass a voting restrictions bill, a marked change from his longtime support of the procedural tool as he courts the endorsement of President Donald Trump.
/2 I still think it is astounding and a sign of the moral rot of institutions that the focus is on him being friendly with Epstein and not specifically on conspiring with Epstein, convicted sex offender, how to take advantage of a younger and less powerful colleague he calls a racial slur.
Spoiler: he will learn nothing from this that he will apply to his reasoning going forward.
NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed.
Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)
One reason it’s important for the study of history to not exclude where America did something morally wrong or otherwise screwed up is so that we learn from those wrongs or mistakes. If you think America is somehow perfect at everything & are put in a position of power, the fall comes with the pride
We are approaching a scenario where “It’s a banana Michael how much could it cost, ten dollars?” is no longer a laugh line.
“Officers at U.S. Central Command created the target coordinates for the strike using outdated data provided by the Defense Intelligence Agency, people briefed on the investigation said.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...

Skepticism about vaccines was once a fringe view, held by a small group of Americans. But the Covid-19 pandemic, with its mandates and rapid rollout of vaccines, breathed new vigor into the anti-vaccine movement and bred hostility toward the medical establishment.
“The pandemic” didn’t “breathe” the hesitance, @apoorvanyt.bsky.social. The anti-vaccine movement leaders made a conscious decision to exploit it to undermine trust. They literally made videos about how they would do exactly that, before the vaccines existed. Show your readers those videos!
DHS is retaliating against FOIA officers for making lawful releases.
At the same time, most of the agency's FOIA officials (including at CBP) are furloughed, and the govts procurement database has been absorbed by a website that effectively makes it unusable.

There is the obvious harm in increased deaths, and then the secondary harm of wasted hours of medical resources. Hours and hours of time trying to help patients understand that our Secretary of HHS is a quack.
What a disaster.
Maybe; or he is seeking to avoid the markets spiraling
More like after markets close in terms of timing
Iran is exporting more oil through the Strait of Hormuz than before the war, showing it is in control of a strategic waterway that it has closed off to the rest of the region’s oil producers.
Wonder how many days they can keep this up
US markets are open, time to make it seem like this will end soon
“Which is why it will be so easy to complete this war, which we will not stop fighting until they have publicly unconditionally surrendered”

The Pentagon under Pete Hegseth has "systematically" destroyed policies to limit civilian harm, says @huffpost.com reporter @akbarshahidahmed.huffpost.com.
"That puts civilians abroad at much greater risk. It also puts U.S. servicemembers at risk of being implicated in possible war crimes."
