My gut tells me that the joint US-Israeli strike against the evil Iranian regime is an event to be celebrated by all decent people.  That feeling is reinforced tenfold by the cast of characters lamenting the “aggression”: Mamdani, Omar, Carlson, Owens, Greene.

But it is always difficult to predict the outcome of complex events at their outset.  That is why the sages set such a high value on those who were able to foretell future consequences based on their origins: haro’eh et ha’nolad.  “Who is wise?  He who sees what will be.”

Who could have predicted that the outcome of Yahya Sinwar’s depraved October 7 massacre would result in the devastation of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, as well as the death of the leaders of those malign entities?  And who could have known that initial victories in Iraq and Afghanistan by the United States would lead to such ignominious exits?
