As always, Rob, you are dependable for factual insights and unbiased, excellent reporting. Frankly, I think most people today are numb from a couple of decades of military threats to and from the Middle East. Iran is angry, so what? We kicked their ass a few years ago, we'll do it again. That kind of thinking is a social problem, not a reporting deficiency. Hang in there. We need professional journalists such as you now more than ever. The pendulum always swings. I sense a slow shift from uninformed opinions to a desire for real facts, especially among young adults. They grew up with social media and are getting tired of mindless bullshit. The are more discerning of a need for solid information.
I completely agree, especially with what I see over the course of this week. I was very surprised at the low key/absence of more urgent reporting in the news. In the end it seems clear that whether or not people are paying enough attention we are indeed on shrinking, shaky ground.

Thank you, as always, Rob.
