The fact that Trump is going to address the country tonight on the subject worries me.  There's no need for that at this point.  Addressing the country on TV usually signals something very important.   I wish he would cancel the nationwide address and let this whole situation cool down.  He killed the guy, Iran shot a few missiles and missed us probably intentionally, and now there's no need to turn this into a war.

The Ayatollahs have threaded the needle on this situation.  They can claim they hit us back, when they really didn't.   Let's hope Trump has the wisdom to see this.  He campaigned on getting the US out of endless middle eastern wars.   He can declare victory if he must, but I hope to God he has the wisdom to stop what would be a majorly expensive war that would damage the world economy and cause a lot of suffering in the United States as well as Iran.
