The only reason I do not allow my children to play in the middle of the highway is the cars speeding at 70 MPH. Otherwise, the highway is open as a playground.

Let me help you with the spin... The Strait of Hormuz is not physically closed. Instead, shippers have deemed it too risky to transit. We understand their concern; the Iranian regime is blatantly violating international law and basic morality by targeting innocent ships and killing seafarers who have nothing to do with this conflict. This has to end. The United States military has the means and the motivation to stop this brutal regime’s killing of innocents and end its tyranny over the world economy.
