Right? That is a precisely correct headline. War usually requires at least one side to make a fundamental miscalculation. Miscalculation presupposes calculation as alternative and calculation is a rational process. Here, I won't say never, I'll say I never heard of both sides not calculating, of being irrational...Well, that's the Toilet Nation. Is Iran calculating? No. This is irrational on Iran's part too. Maybe this is a near-first and these two lobotomy patients will stumble into peace? Probably not.
