The Issue: Criticisms of President Trump’s Operation Epic Fury and American involvement in Iran.
Until President Trump “feels it in his bones,” American aircraft will crash, rockets and drones will fly, billions of dollars will be wasted and more innocent Iranians, Qataris, Lebanese, and Israeli civilians and American service members will die or be maimed (“No One Can Control Him,” Rich Lowry, PostOpinion, March 20).
The Middle East is not engaged in a fictional war movie. It’s a bad dream come to life.

For 47 years, we’ve seen nothing but terrorism and threats to the free world from Iran. There is no disagreement that the Iranian regime is the world’s foremost destabilizing force in the world.
Destroying Iran’s military will lead to a much safer world for all of us.

The left prattles on and on and on about Iran having posed no “immediate threat” to the United States. I guess the fact that, since 1979, Iran’s Islamist lunatic fascists have proven no better than Hitler or Pol Pot cleansing is not enough for them.
Trump has at long last taken the initiative to rid the world of these Christian- and Jew-hating monsters. Generations to come will look back on this war with gratitude.

Operation Epic Fury was neither justified nor necessary. There was no believable immediate threat. I think Trump had visions of regime change when he agreed to the assault, hoping people would rise up.
He was wrong. In a theocracy, they will fight until they only have stones to throw at you.
Now the president, who campaigned on the promise of no wars overseas, and bragged about resolving multiple wars around the globe, is in one up to his eyeballs.

Trump campaigned as an anti-interventionist, pledging to end “forever wars.” However, since the start of his second term, he’s launched military strikes or actions in seven countries.
Now US bombs have hit a school in Iran, killing at least 165 children — yet our president has demanded a Nobel Peace Prize.
He’s not a man of peace but a liar and a war criminal.

The Issue: Mayor Mamdani’s plan to lower speed limits for cars in school zones.
Mayor Madmani’s excuse for decreasing the speed limit is to ensure children are safe (“Mamdani’s ‘School Safety’ Cash Grab,” Editorial, March 18).
Yet he stops criminal summonses to e-bike riders, who are substantially more dangerous than cars. They completely disregard speed limits, ride in the opposite direction of traffic and zigzag between pedestrians at top speeds.
I guess it’s better to put adults in danger than to have ICE agents do their jobs.

Why would the mayor want to lower school-zone and citywide speed limits?
These new limits would be new everyday nuisances for middle-class commuters and working-poor delivery drivers who will surely receive more speeding tickets.
Add the mayor’s other proposed large increases in taxes, and I’m sure he expects a good portion of the middle class and working poor to leave his city. You get what you vote for.

The mayor realizes he can make money off the backs of drivers going 11 miles an hour over the speed limit. Next is increasing the number of speed cameras.
As a senior citizen who has a physician in the city and is petrified to take the subway, what am I to do?
