He did it! We're all shouting this at the news. We wake up to a nuclear-free Iran. What a sound, that.

Of course there have been consequences. Iran will respond, we assume. Israelis are encouraged to stay home, shelter when ordered to shelter.
Don't be a wise guy.
My mother-in-law, in the shower, hears me knock on the bathroom door: We have to shelter, I shout. There's an alarm.
I can't now, she yells.
I leave her to her own devices and go, try to save her a seat. Someone takes it anyway. FD is off to morning prayers. There's a miklat where he is, I'm not worried about him.
The crowd in the miklat is standing room only but most of us have seats. Cookies are passed around, cups of water. Someone plays a radio news station. It is 730 am.
A knock on the heavy door. A young man gets up to open it. My m-i-l joins us. The man next to me gives her his seat. We sit, waiting for the all clear sign. She brought her brush, brushes her wet hair. After a few minutes I lean over and shout in her ear,
'Trump did it! Did you hear?'
She couldn't have, this I know, she has yet to turn on her computer, hasn't even had her morning coffee.
She asks me to repeat this, not because she didn't hear me, but because she doesn't believe me. I repeat: Trump did it! with a big smile. She bursts into tears. The entire room is watching. They have been listening, heard the shout into her right ear, the only one that catches anything at all.
Someone offers her water, she takes the cup. She is 100 years old, a living testimony to Israel's iron will.
We get the all clear, go upstairs, turn on the television. Missiles from Iran did some damage, several are injured, many buildings will need facelifts.
Here's to a good week friends. Peace.
