Obviously I'm no "expert," but Point 1 makes no sense

Saying if the dad died naturally a real reckoning "might" have happened. Heck, if these attacks didn't produce a real "reckoning," dying naturally surely wouldn't and we'd still have sonny boy in charge. Yet another example of an "expert" who doesn't know how to use his knowledge.

Having said that, I am firmly against this action for my oft-stated reasoning that you don't attack a country on what it might possibly do some vague date in the future. And I'm not questioning some of the things he says about the situation as they sound logical. I just hope some sort of pragmatism prevails...somehow.
