Now time to thank our partner of this episode, Amazon. Have you noticed recently how Amazon

orders are arriving on your doorstep with less packaging? While some items are delivered with no

I don't know if it covers all the bases all of the time. But my goodness me, it's fairly easy to understand at moments like this, isn't it?

Because the shadow, the specter of the Iraq war, seems to me to loom large, not just over what is happening in Iran at the moment, Iraq's near neighbor.
