As we get closer to local elections, I’ve talked to a number of people who see a way to disconnect local politics from national politics, but I am unable to make that separation. This morning’s news is alive with a Trump Administration plan to send 120,000 troops to join our already deployed carrier group in the Middle East. In order to separate the federal government from local governments there must be some way to forget the disastrous Iraq War and I can’t see how that is possible. I can’t understand how a politician in the party that is ramping up to a war with Iran can look good to anybody.
