Conflicts/war are always easy to start, not so easy to stop. George Bush declared 'Mission Accomplished' in May 2003. The last of our troops left Iraq in December 2011.

Trump can declare victory, then turn his loving eyes to Cuba. But that doesn't mean the Iranians will quit. Nor Netanyahu

The Iranians have already declared a retaliation 'in kind' for Trump assassinating their Ayatollah.

This ain't over.
