Hope you chumps can read this. Ignatius is the best in the business these days.

Some key paragraphs:

“If there’s one lesson America and Israel should have learned in recent decades, it’s that military success doesn’t usually translate to political victory — in Gaza, Afghanistan or, now, Iran. The adversary keeps coming back. The Israelis have learned that they have to keep “mowing the grass,” the harsh phrase they use for the cycle of recurring violence. America, after avoiding an all-out clash with Iran for 47 years, may now be caught in a similar cycle.”

“ Let’s recognize the obvious: A clear pattern in modern warfare is that “strategic” bombing designed to break the popular will usually backfires. People dig in, rather than surrender. They keep fighting in what seems a lost cause. Even under a miserable government like the Iranian regime, there is national pride, identity and resistance to control by foreigners.”
