To the editor:

When considering the David Kirkpatrick analysis, "Conflict With Iran Threatens Fight Against ISIS," we should all remember what Barack Obama said when he was president, that ISIS is the junior varsity.

Iran is the varsity and we just took out the varsity quarterback!

Sometimes, the backup comes in and outdoes the starting quarterback, but if Coach Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Hosseini Khamenei believed the backup was better than the starter, he would have replaced Souleimani long ago.

The game's not over, but chalk one up for our side.

Sincerely,

Alan Stein
