• 3 U.S. service members are killed in a drone attack in northern Jordan near the Syrian border, while about 30 are wounded, some seriously enough to be medevaced. Commentators are awaiting a response from Biden. Even the enfeebled, confused Biden will have to do something.

But what if “peace activists” demanded a cease fire before we could react. Even the slow-witted would see this as an okay to kill Americans without fear of reprisal. Isn’t this exactly what “peace activists” demanded of Israel? Let the murder of men, women, children, even babies go forward, then call a cease fire before Israel could react. If this would be intolerably unfair for the U.S., why is it fair for Israel?
