6 reasons Trump, Netanyahu started Iran war
By Robert Geiger
BERKELEY LAKE, Ga. | The rationale for the Israeli and American war on Iran is a Chinese menu – imminent nuclear threat, regime change and freedom for the Iranian people, long term security for Israel, punishment for Iran’s existential threat to Israel and regional stability, democracy for Iran, or, most likely, cover for two corrupt and diabolical leaders – Netanyahu and Trump.
Few will mourn the demise of the Ayatollah or his henchmen. They have impoverished and terrified the Iranian people over the last 40 years. Their support of the extremist proxies Hezbollah and Hamas has contributed to the growth of right-wing authoritarianism in Israel. Rather than aiding the Palestinian cause, this support has made any progress highly unlikely.
But the assassination of Iranian leaders and all-out war that Trump and Netanyahu have initiated is unjustified for many reasons. The first is that Iran by all reasonable assessments is incapable of nuclear warfare any time in the near future. This has been verified by the UN’s nuclear inspection agency and other neutral third parties.
The second is that Israel is far superior to Iran in military capabilities and the idea that Iran is an existential threat to Israel is simply laughable. Even without US support, Israel has little or nothing to fear from Iran. Moreover, Netanyahu has been chafing to attack Iran for decades and argued that Iran would have a nuclear weapon imminently back in the early 90’s. He was delighted to discover that he could stroke Trump’s ego enough to lure him into fulfilling his dream.
The third is that the recent history of overthrow of Mideast regimes through warfare has been dismal. Both Afghanistan and Iraq were foreign policy and humanitarian catastrophes, whose ill effects are still reverberating throughout that region. Have we learned nothing?
The fourth reason is that unilateral military action against sovereign states and leaders is an abandonment of international rules-based diplomacy, a way for Russia to further rationalize its invasion of Ukraine, and an invitation to future unilateral actions such as a Chinese invasion of Taiwan.
The fifth reason is that the war’s result is unlikely to be a democratic, secular regime in Iran. The current Islamic state is so deeply embedded that it is difficult to imagine it changing dramatically.
And the final reason is that there were clearly vile and cynical personal motivations for both Trump and Netanyahu to launch this war that have nothing to do with noble desires to free the Iranian people. Trump is facing a disastrous midterm election that could completely derail his presidency. Netanyahu has so far managed to avoid the consequences of his administration’s security failures and prior support of Hamas by his brutal destruction of Gaza and murder of close to a hundred thousand Palestinians, but a time of reckoning was approaching. His corruption and legal problems were also threatening.
Yes, the Iran war is a classic wag the dog scenario. Both Trump and Netanyahu are authoritarian leaders who are totally unscrupulous and diabolical. Their capricious use of military force with unclear objectives is intended to distract a public that has been easily wooed by violence and warfare in the past.
One can only hope that this time the ruse won’t work and that they will pay for their arrogance. But the sad truth is that this war will cost the lives of thousands and perhaps tens or hundreds of thousands if history is any guide.

GGC men’s basketball going to national tournament
By Elliott Brack
Editor and publisher, GwinnettForum
MARCH 10, 2026 | What a sensational first year the men’s basketball program Georgia Gwinnett College has recorded! They are headed for the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics tournament after compiling a 25-6 record under Coach Chase Teichmann.
The team is traveling to Fullerton, Calif., for tournament play on Friday, making its first tournament appearance at a NAIA First and second round site being hosted by Hope International University. The 64-team national tournament bracket was announced by the national office on March 5. Click here to see the team roster.
The No. 14-seed Grizzlies will face the No. 3-seed Hope International Royals in a Cramer Quadrant game on Friday, March 13, starting at 7:30 p.m. Meanwhile, No. 6 seed Keiser University (Florida) will play No. 11 seed Oregon Tech at 5:30 p.m. All games are in the pacific time zone.
The site’s two first round winners will advance to a second round game on Saturday, March 14. The bracket champion will move on to play in the national finals tournament in Kansas City, Missouri on March 24 in the Municipal Auditorium.
Head Coach Chase Teichmann says of his initial season: “It was an exciting experience seeing us, as a first-year program, being among the teams selected for the NAIA tournament. We’re looking forward to the opportunity and challenge. This realizes a goal that I had for the program when hired in August 2024. Lots of things came together to make this a reality.”
GGC ended the season with a 25-6 record and was one of two qualifiers from the Continental Athletic Conference after advancing to the championship game of last weekend’s CAC Championship.
The 2025-26 GGC women’s basketball team, led by head coach Tory Wooley, finished as the 2026 Continental Athletic Conference (CAC) Championship runner-up with a 20-7 record. As the #1 seed, they hosted the tournament, defeating Washington Adventist 73-54 in the semifinals before falling 66-56 to Haskell Indian Nations in the March 1, 2026, championship game.
Ever since GGC started competitive athletics, the C=college has done well. Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) fields eight intercollegiate teams, which compete in the NAIA (Continental Athletic Conference). Core sports include men and women’s basketball, baseball, softball, men’s/women’s soccer, and men’s/women’s tennis.
- The GGC baseball team’s best years were highlighted by their 2021 NAIA World Series Championship, a 51-10 record, and seven consecutive NAIA World Series appearances.
- The GGC softball team’s best years were highlighted by their 2018 season, which featured a school-record 53 wins, a No. 1 national ranking, and an NAIA World Series appearance.
- The GGC men’s tennis team has maintained a dynasty since its inception in 2013, with arguably its best years being 2014–2024, during which they secured 10 consecutive NAIA national championships.
- The Grizzlies women’s tennis teams has been a dominant NAIA powerhouse, winning 10 consecutive NAIA national championships from 2014 to 2024 (excluding 2020). The program achieved a perfect 18-0 record in 2024, capping a 79-1 run over four seasons.
- GGC offers a competitive NAIA soccer program for men and women. The men’s team (2025 record: 13-3-4) won the 2025 CAC tournament, while the women’s team ranked No. 17 in the 2025 NAIA Top 25 poll.
Congratulations to the GGS athletic leaders, Dr. Darin Wilson, now the vice president for campus and external engagement, and Dr. Ian Potter, executive athletics director.
The GGC athletic achievements make Gwinnett proud.

Is anyone in either party listening to everyday America?
By Jack Bernard, contributing columnist
PEACTREE CITY, Ga. | Although I disagree with many of his policies and his aversion to telling the truth, I have always believed Donald Trump to be one of the nation’s shrewdest politicians. That is how a twice impeached former President who instigated an insurrection got re-elected.
And that is why I fail to see why he is adopting the same “head in the sand” sure-fire failure approach to addressing the nation’s major problems that his predecessor took.
Even the conservative Wall Street Journal has questioned that approach. Per WSJ’s Daniel Bach: “President Trump uses his State of the Union to celebrate an economic turnaround many voters aren’t seeing.”
Biden was mentally and physically impaired for the latter part of his term. He never effectively addressed the two big issues facing Americans in 2024: the economy and immigration. His 2023 State of the Union addresses reflected this fact: “We are building an economy where no one is left behind.”
At the time, primarily due to the worldwide pandemic, inflation was 6.5 percent with groceries up 11.8 percent. Biden failed to forcefully and directly address this issue. Some of the more astute Democratic economic advisors understood this fact. Robert Reich, former U.S. Secretary of Labor in the Clinton Administration stated: “He needs to acknowledge that the economy is still not working for most people.”
By the time of the 2024 election, annual inflation was down to 2.9 percent, not much different than it is now. But, along with his failure to control the border, it was obvious that the damage to public opinion had already been done.
Now, Trump is doing the same thing. In his speech, he claimed-
“…healthcare, which will better healthcare at a much lower cost.” The reality is that healthcare costs are rising- “Projected health care cost trend jumped to almost 8 percent for 2025, the highest amount in more than a decade.”
Having most favored nations drug pricing is an example of an excellent goal articulated numerous times by Trump. The problem is that, even with the tariffs Trump imposed, that has not happened. For example, “patented drugs in Canada cost 35–45 percent less than in the U.S. on average.”
Plus, as usual, Trump made claims that the national price of gasoline now averages $2.30 per gallon. In fact, with a national average of $2.90 per gallon, as of February 2026, it does not average that amount in any state.
Biden blew it by having virtually open borders, but never acknowledging it, one reason Trump was re-elected. But Trump has gone overboard in the other direction, authorizing gangs of masked ICE agents to go into schools and medical facilities to arrest innocent children and mothers. Trump ignored the highly negative public perception of the recent Minneapolis killings of two U.S. citizens, stating “sanctuary cities…protect the criminals”; “blocking the removal of these people out of our country.”
It is amazing that the ruling elite in Washington can be so out of touch with the common working person. It is one of the few items that is truly bipartisan.

Is this who we want to be?
Editor, the Forum:
Early in this administration the U.S. Agency for International Development was effectively dismantled, although not abolished, as that would require an act of Congress.
Funding for USAID represented about .01 percent of the Federal budget. Its mission was assigned to the State Department. Later an internal email stated, “there is no strong nexus between the humanitarian response and U.S. national interests.”
Let’s look at that internal email statement. The mission of the USAID is to partner to end extreme poverty and promote resilient, democratic societies while advancing the security and prosperity of the United States. Key pillars of the mission are to address hunger, strengthen democratic institutions, human rights, good governance, manage international disaster assistance, strengthen health systems and promote inclusive, self-reliant societies. My question is what in that mission statement is against the U.S. national interests? Is it because the President is not a fan of “soft power?” Is it not manly enough for him?
One might ask are there people other than the hungry and ill in the recipient countries who are harmed? It would be my contention that our farmers who are harmed as those gigantic bags of grain labelled USAID shipped to poor countries are produced and purchased from our farmers. I realize that it is a complex issue to balance giving food to the recipient countries while encouraging them to increase their own agricultural production. But certainly we are intelligent enough to find a solution to that problem.
Finally, at the risk of sounding “preachy” I would suggest two Biblical references: In the Hebrew scriptures, Micah 6:8, and in the New Testament, Matthew 25:40.

Agency seeks RFP for Crescent Drive properties
The Urban Redevelopment Agency of Gwinnett County, in partnership with CBRE, has issued a Request for Proposals for the redevelopment of the Gateway Gwinnett site.
The Gateway Gwinnett site offers exceptional connectivity to metro Atlanta and the broader Southeast region. The property was acquired from fiber optic cable manufacturer Lightera, formerly OFS, which will continue to operate its facility adjacent to the site.
The addresses of the properties are 3605 Crescent Drive and 6160 Crescent Drive, Norcross.
The redevelopment vision for the site is flexible and invites proposals that include one or a combination of the following elements: multifamily housing, office, retail, industrial or flex industrial. For multifamily elements, high-rise style buildings that promote higher density and mixed-income opportunities are preferred, while enhanced mobility options, pedestrian-oriented development and placemaking are encouraged.
Gwinnett County has invested significantly in preparing the site for redevelopment, including assembling parcels, establishing the Gateway 85 Overlay Zoning District, adopting the Gwinnett Gateway Urban Redevelopment Plan, and committing to infrastructure improvements such as transit enhancements and road upgrades.
The property is located within a Tax Allocation District and designated State and Federal Opportunity Zones, increasing the availability of substantial incentives to support large-scale investment along with other local economic development incentives offered by the county.
Interested developers may submit proposals for the full site or individual parcels, including reuse of existing buildings on the site. Responses must include a conceptual master plan, financial proposal and development approach.
An optional pre-proposal conference will be held at Innovation Square in Lawrenceville, with details provided in the RFP. Proposals are due by 2 p.m. on May 15.
Two Norcross gallery artists on display at Café 45
For the remainder of March until April 12, the artists of the month at Norcross Gallery and Studios are Maria Schramm and Lulu Alazzawi, whose works will be on display at Café 45 in Norcross.
Maria Schramm, a versatile abstract artist says of her work: “I believe art should be fun and inviting, and it must make places unique and beautiful. My art is deeply diverse because it reflects many themes and celebrates each. Transforming spaces into something vibrant, beautiful, and meaningful is always one of the objectives. In one sentence: Art, I love it!” It shows especially in her soaring uplifting painting titled Splash included in the exhibit.
Lulu Alazzawi, originally from Bagdad, came to the United States with her children in 2010. Working as a medical interpreter. She continued to pursue her art, creating delightful sunny abstract paintings that reflect her Middle Eastern heritage. She feels as though being on the edge of multiple cultures, one continues to keep on dreaming. Her very colorful abstract painting, Prosperity, reminds one of grains gently waving in the sun and breeze, and is a joy to see. She is currently a member at Johns Creek Art Center and is welcomed to Café 45 by the Norcross Gallery and Studios in this exhibit.
Solo Mio movie
From Cindy Evans, Duluth: My husband, Mark, and I went to see the movie Solo Mio recently and I’m so glad we did! It was sweet and heartwarming and makes you laugh and cry! There was a full crowd and you could tell the whole theater was enjoying it and along for the ride! Kevin James is perfect as Matt Taylor who was left at the altar and is now on his honeymoon in Italy by himself. (Enjoy the very pretty scenery in this film, too!) I also liked Jonathan Roumie’s performance as Neil, one of his new friends who tries to come alongside him. Also, Nicole Grimaudo is excellent in her role as Gia, a woman he meets on the trip. To avoid any spoiler alerts, I won’t say any more about that! Definitely recommend seeing it! It is a PG and 1 hour and 40 minutes and a beautiful rom-com!

Georgia doctor first to use anesthesia in operation
Crawford Long, a north Georgia physician, is credited with the discovery of anesthesia. Long County, in southeast Georgia, is named in his honor, as was Crawford Long Hospital (later Emory University Hospital Midtown) in Atlanta.
Crawford Williamson Long was born on November 1, 1815, in Danielsville, the seat of Madison County, to a wealthy merchant and planter. At the age of 14 he applied to the University of Georgia in Athens
Long received his A.M. degree from the university in 1835. In the fall of 1836 he began his medical education at Transylvania College in Lexington, Ky. There, Long had the opportunity to observe and participate in several surgeries, but these were harrowing experiences, as patients were not sedated and often experienced excruciating pain.
After one year at Transylvania College, Long transferred to the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. There he had the opportunity to study with some of the greatest medical scholars of the day and to witness new medical techniques firsthand. He received his medical degree in 1839. After a hospital internship in New York City, Long returned to Georgia to take over a rural medical practice in Jefferson in 1841.
As he established his medical practice, Long began to experiment with sulfuric ether as an anesthetic. He performed his first surgical procedure using the gas on March 30, 1842, when he removed a tumor from the neck of a young man. Though he performed more surgeries using anesthesia over the next several years and began using it in his obstetrical practice, Long did not publish his findings.
An editorial ran in the December 1846 issue of Medical Examiner about a Boston dentist named William Morton who claimed to have used ether as an anesthetic. The January 1847 issue featured several articles about various experiments in etherization. After reading these accounts, Long began writing his own account of his discovery and collecting notarized letters from former patients. In 1849 he presented his findings to the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta, and while there he learned of two others who also claimed to be the discoverers of surgical anesthesia—Horace Wells and Charles Jackson. The ether controversy was well under way before Long made his claim.
Although the others sought wealth and fame for the discovery, Long simply wanted the recognition of his peers and to alleviate the suffering of patients. An article about his discovery, along with copies of affidavits, was published in the Southern Medical and Surgical Journal in December 1849, but Long did not receive full recognition for his discovery in his lifetime.
In the intervening years his family and his medical practice grew. Long married Caroline Swain in 1842, and together they had 12 children, seven of whom survived to adulthood. In 1851 they moved to Athens, where Long opened a practice and pharmacy with his brother, Robert. During the Civil War he remained in Athens and served as a surgeon to soldiers on both sides of the conflict. He died on June 16, 1878, shortly after helping to deliver a baby.

And help! We need more Mystery Photos. Look in your files for bright, snappy and artful photographs, and send us a copy for future use.
The last mystery was spotted by Jay Altman of Columbia S.C. “It is The photo came from Rick Krause of Lilburn. Altman wrote: “This the Rookery Building in Chicago. Ill. Completed in 1888 by architects Daniel Burnham and John Wellborn Root, it is considered the oldest standing high-rise building in the city.
The building is a hybrid structure featuring masonry exterior walls and a steel frame interior, representing a significant transition in early skyscraper design. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was remodeled by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1905.”
Also recognizing the photo were Buck Lindsay, Lawrenceville; George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; James Lee, Duluth; Stewart Ogilvie, Reheboth, Ala.; and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas, who wrote: “With its dark reddish-brown hue, massive rough-faced granite, and deep Romanesque arches at the entryways, its design is a prime example of the Richardsonian Romanesque style. It was a popular style choice for commercial buildings in Boston, Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia in the late 19th century.
“Although the building’s exterior was designed to exude a theme of power, strength, and stability, step inside the main entrance and a totally different ‘vibe’ presents itself. This is thanks to a major 1905 remake of the lobby by legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright (1867–1959). Wright re-imagined the entrance by covering the dark wrought-iron columns with white Carrara marble, removing bulky 19th-century ornaments and creating an open and “airy” space, brightening up the walls and ceiling by adding white-glazed brick to the upper atrium, and adding bronze, prismatic glass chandeliers to diffuse and scatter the light more effectively throughout the lobby.”
