Letter to the editor Hal Chorny

 Killing Iran's Major Gen. Suleimani impresses the uninformed as a big, bold assertion of US might. It is that, but the military significance is questionable since there are surely others in Iran ready to continue his murderous plans

However, the downside is potentially enormous. His death will provoke serious retaliation. It is the kind of act which could lead to war. Killing Osama bin Laden made sense because he was a renegade leader hiding from our retaliation. A similar argument can be made for targeting Isis leaders. None were official leaders of a country with ample backups to carry on, and removal seriously weakened their threat.

This killing is another error by a dangerously unfit president. It is further reason to remove him from office to avert more disasters. We will suffer the consequences of this act but could at least prevent more to come.
