The Issue: President Trump’s hands-off approach to the Iran war, now in its sixth month

President Trump has put us in a quagmire position with the rest of the world (“Trump’s ‘low-key’ Iran plan,” Aug. 10).

His downfall with the Iranians is no different than what we experienced in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. The president thought he had all the cards. Obviously he did not; too many jokers in the deck.

He will most likely back down on his demands and America will return home in disgrace.

After Operation Epic Fury, retired Gens. Jack Keane and Keith Kellogg told Trump to finish the job. He felt he knew better than them, so here we are months later with him begging for a deal from people he once demanded an unconditional surrender from.

Although I genuinely admire and support Trump, I am dismayed with his seemingly endless second chances for the monsters in Tehran.

Yes, he is facing political ramifications that can be best described as a Hobson’s choice: Either destroy the regime or surrender, tail between our legs. In either case, the cynical Democrats will use it against him in the upcoming midterm elections.

I sincerely hope that this president, who has shown remarkable resolve and courage in the past, can rise to the occasion, put politics aside, and destroy this murderous regime.

It’s obvious the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps runs Iran. It should have been eradicated long ago.

Trump is afraid to use ground forces because the Democrats will use every casualty against him in the midterms. Isn’t close combat exactly what our troops are trained to do? I wonder if Trump can rely on NATO for help.

Or maybe the Saudis, Turks and Pakistanis can show him the “art of the deal.” I’m glad he wasn’t president during World War II.

Dear Mr. President: We both grew up in Queens; I voted for you three times but I am now feeling buyer’s remorse.

I believe the reason for your reluctance to pull the trigger is you thinking you can win the Nobel Peace Price. But you will never win it because you are so disliked around the world. So, please grow a pair and pull the trigger to end this fiasco.

The Issue: DiJonai Carrington tweeting “white privilege” after her flagrant foul on Sophie Cunningham

WNBA owners, executives and coaches are cowards (“Foul Race Bait by WNBA Bully,” Kirsten Fleming, Aug. 11).

All they care about are their salaries. They will never admit that the organization is loaded with entitled players like DiJonai Carrington.

I would rather sell my TV than watch this garbage.

How ironic that Carrington is ranting about white privilege but has had more opportunities than most white women in this country, with private schools from day one then admission into Stanford University.

It’s just her jealousy over a white woman being a much better person and basketball player than her.

Can you imagine the rampage if the actions were reversed? Sickening hypocrisy.

Kevin Judge

The disgusting assault by Carrington on Sophie Cunningham reminds me of the brutal harassment Jackie Robinson endured. The only difference is that the bigotry is being perpetrated by a black person.

Given the powerful forces supporting this behavior in the WNBA, don’t expect justice to prevail anytime soon.
