I have to strongly disagree.  Trump is on a mission, like it or not.  Part 1 was Venezuela, Part 2 is Iran.  Part 3 is about China and to a lesser extent Russia.  This is about who controls the oil and the associated revenues.  Good guys or terrorists.  Trump has got China frozen in its tracks unable to react as they might otherwise do if someone else was in charge.  Trump has made it clear that things that need to be done can be done without starting WW III.  The Arabs and Israel are finally joining together and cooperating with each other to fight a common enemy, Iran.

The geopolitical dynamics of the Middle East have been forever changed, in a good way.  The status quo is over.

Yeah, send some ships and chip in to secure the oil that you need.  While the oil market is a global thing, the supplies and who gets what are very local.  The US does not need the oil that goes through the Strait of Hormuz, the rest of the world does.  To have one entity control the flow of 20% of the world's oil is dicey at best and when that one entity is the number one sponsor of terrorism in the world, it couldn't be worse.  And if that entity finally gets nuclear weapons, then what ?  Then what becomes game over and too late to act without starting a nuclear war.  

Better that we do what must be done now before we can't do anything at all and have things end on our terms, not theirs.  Iran's reactions since this all began have made it more than clear that their terms are totally unacceptable.

About the only conclusion I can make is that I am the only one here who sees Iran as the bad guys and the US as the good guys in all of this just based on what I have seen posted since this action against Iran began.

I seem to be the only one who sees this as a now or never moment to change the geopolitics in this region for the betterment of all.  If not now, when ?  And if not the US, who else could do this ?  This action has caused all the players to finally say out loud what they have been saying privately forever, afraid to speak up about the truth of Iran and that it must cease to exist in its present state of being.  For the first time in my lifetime, the Arab nations are joining together publicly to do what must be done which is dealing with Iran, once and for all.

The tiny island of Kharg that could let Trump beat Iran 

without sending a single soldier
