Your essay about the prospect of war coincided with my own. The federal government is totally out of control! Our so called representatives are not representing the people in the United States. All of the hearings in congress get No results! No one goes to jail- it is so disturbing to witness the outright lawlessness of our government. The only thing that keeps this insanity going is that our government prints money and uses that money to support War!
I guess the only way for this to stop is to have a total financial collapse AND the people must stop supporting this . Stop funding the federal government with income taxes on our own labor!
I've often wondered why the Congress has been ceding power to the Executive. And for years.
Our country has slowly evolved from its democratic intent to strongman rule.
Perhaps there's something in our DNA that makes us disposed to heed an Alpha Male, aka the President.
Despite the Iranians proclaiming to any and all that they are not developing nuclear weapons, the extraordinary number of formidable USAF attack planes and USN ships recently positioned in the Middle East makes clear our current Alpha Male is going to wage war on Iran.
All he's waiting for is the fuel and bomb supply chain to catch up to air air and sea armada now in place.
My guess: He wants to secure donations from well funded pro-Israeli citizens and, by burnishing his MAGA tough guy persona, to secure votes for GOP contenders during the mid-term elections.
Yes that old human nature just keeps getting in the way of the good. One day this nature will be surrendered obsolete. Hope that day comes very soon, no not hope, but pray.

JD. I have also lain awake, contemplating the potential outcomes of imperial shenanigans. I hope your son remains safe and sound.
God bless you my friend.
