Then again, saying that out loud might leak back to triumphalist Iran, who won the war and nearly caused the "Zionist regime" to collapse, which is why they asked Iran to be gracious and agree to a ceasefire.

It makes sense--who pushes for a ceasefire when they're winning? Anybody who thinks otherwise is a fool, I guess.

It's an insight--a small one, to be sure--into the worldview and culture, but the fact that cultures have different approaches and values matters. A lot of Americans think cultures are really rather like us, except for things like food, fashion, folklore and other hugely important (no, not really, the core culture's been assume to be the same, the rest is basically the side dishes).
