Everyone’s talking about the explosion in United States-Iran tensions that culminated in a thankfully relatively mild Iranian retaliatory strike on Iraqi bases housing U.S. troops last night.

There are many reasons one could point to as the source of the surging conflict, from the U.S. drone strike killing Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani to the long history between the two countries and the mutual snake pit that is U.S.-Iran relations over the last 40 years. But far less attention has been dedicated to how we get out of this situation.
