Agreeing to it was stupid and everyone knew it -- see comments last night -- but luckily that conclusion didn't even require 1 day, never mind 2 weeks, to figure out for the few lingering doubters.

Now the strait is closed again and Iran will retaliate. Except this time, they should hold fast to negotiations by ballistics.
