Long term, Iran’s tactic of delays may end the Middle East war peacefully - a poem.

The global equalizer
Hammering and bombing
The author of forty seven years of terror;
The mullahs being bludgeoned and battered -
An auspicious reckoning
For the caliphate -
America's ideology
Of diplomacy saddling
The administration,
Driving Iran's regime
To negotiate an end to the war.
With the midterms looming
In the United States,
The inconsistent negotiations
And continued bombing and air strikes
Marking a gruesome and perilous
Juncture in the epic Mideast battle
And worldwide harangue...

America and its allies
Tested inordinately,
As the forces for capitalism,
The Jewish state,
And freedom apply pressure
On the Islamic radicals. 
Israel's powerful friend
And potent regional peacemaker,
The U.S., endeavoring
To produce a system to monitor
The regime's nuclear program
While negating Iran's unacceptable
Charging of tolls and restrictive control
Of the Strait of Hormuz.
The failed goals and flailing utilization
Of terror and virulent, regional,
Extremists proxies finally coming to a head;
The end of the costly entanglement
In terms of persons lost
And high economic uncertainty
Returning the 47th president
Of the United States
To the realistic objective
Of military obfuscation
Of the jihadist loons
And the destruction of their nation's
Civilization and infrastructure
For resumption of peaceful energies
And prosperous alliances
Back home on freedom's coastlines! 

America's decision looming -
Culpability in the offing
For the mullahs.
A peacemaker afforded the applicable
And excellent option
To cultivate a societal emergence
And encourage cultural liberties
And pivotal change
In an oppressed and vengeful climate
Overseas - in the most hostile, radical,
And unstable environs!
