Nearly $2,000. By my calculation, that is what the Iran war has cost the average American household since the war began nearly eight months ago. Nationwide, that adds up to $265 billion.

25 years after 9/11, a different admin has gotten the united states involved in a different war against a different country in the middle east. but this time, rather than relying on its allies to help, it bullies and pushes them aside. which has more staying power, forever wars or forever allies?
