AFTER THE WAR – Something to Ponder | Don Caron & Julie Wornan

As Trump would say, “It’ll be like nothing you’ve ever seen” only not in a good way. We’ll get to see the aftermath of a sloppy, haphazard war conducted by childish morons. Whoo-hoo.

LYRICS by Julie Wornan

After the war is over, after we reach the Peace
Oh, will we all relax then, will we find some release?
No, but we’ll find new enemies, we’ll hate them more and more.
Don’t think the world will change much after this war.

There is a child who’s screaming
Fearing the rocket’s roar
And there’s a homeless family
Well, that’s just war.

We have some super war toys
Deadlier than before.
Don’t think we will not use them
In the next war

After the war is over, after we reach the Peace
Oh, will we all relax then, will we find some release?
No but we’ll find new enemies, we’ll hate them more and more.
Don’t think the world will change much, after this war.

SUBJECT MATTER
On 28 February 2026, Israel and the United States launched surprise airstrikes on multiple sites and cities across Iran, killing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and numerous other Iranian officials. Iran responded with missile and drone strikes against Israel, US bases, and US-allied countries in the region.

After the Middle Eastern crisis began in 2023, Iran and Israel exchanged missile strikes in 2024 and again during their Twelve-Day War in June 2025, which saw a US airstrike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. In January 2026, Iranian security forces killed thousands of protesters during the largest protests since the Islamic Revolution. US president Donald Trump threatened to take military action against the Iranian regime for the killings. Iran and the US held indirect nuclear negotiations in February,[56] while the US undertook its largest military buildup in the Middle East since the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

The United States did not clarify the goal of its operation; President Donald Trump and other US officials have given multiple reasons for the attack, including that it was to ward off an imminent Iranian threat, to pre-empt Iranian retaliation against US assets after an inevitable Israeli attack on Iran, to destroy Iran’s missile and military capabilities, to prevent Iran from ever having a nuclear weapon, to secure its natural resources, and ultimately to achieve regime change by bringing the Iranian opposition to power. Iran, as well as officials from the Pentagon rejected claims that Iran had been preparing an attack. The IAEA said that it did not have the access it needed to ensure that the Iranian nuclear program was exclusively peaceful, but that there was no evidence of a structured nuclear weapons program at the time of the strikes. UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres and several uninvolved countries condemned the US–Israeli strikes; the United Nations Security Council later passed a resolution condemning Iran’s retaliatory strikes on the Gulf states. Critics of the initial strikes, including legal experts, have described the attacks as a violation of Iran’s sovereignty under international law.

The conflict led to immediate surges in oil and gas prices, widespread disruptions in aviation and tourism, and heightened volatility in financial markets. Iran forced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and attacked energy facilities, disrupting global oil and gas shipments.
