In my latest National Post column I say the silliest criticism of the U.S. taking out terrorist Qasim Soleimani, among quite a few dumb ones, is that now they’ve made the Iranian government angry so now we’re in trouble.

In the National Post I ask how even bureaucrats could possibly write a doggerel health warning that, whatever one thinks of its content, is miserably inept as doggerel and not notice that it didn’t rhyme, scan, inspire or amuse except, in the last case, accidentally.
