Israel Lowers the Boom on Iran

  
     No one crows, no one gloats
        no spin, no contrived quotes

     Just a sober nation taking stock
        of the world it just shocked

Good one Gershon. Israel had to. The previous admin. gave them the money to build nukes. No choice

on one hand I wanted to applaud Israel for standing up to the bully that Iran is. On the other hand, the event was sobering and far reaching. War is a needless reaction. Still in shock this late in the day today. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Yellow Rose

Believe me, if Israelis have something to celebrate, they do. Big-time. ... This is nothing to cheer. ~ Gershon

I just sat back on the couch, the poem's feeling pushed me back, so heavy, so somber, so so so everything bleak and senseless. I gotta sit back again and stare with my eyes closed. Good night, how blessed to go night-night with no hostility in my immediate world. (typing that, 911 feel flashed) Love ya, CayCay

Thanks for giving me your perspective on the M-E news, CayCay. It's sobering for me. 'Bleak and senseless' about sums everything up. ~ Gershon
