If they French don’t do it, again…

I learned very quickly in high school that it was “eer-on” not “Eye-Ran”…although it’s never bothered me if someone calls it that.

too bad Hillary didn’t win… she said Iran needed to be stopped also. We could have already had this done 10 yrs ago. Or did you miss that video?

I think you forgot to mention the context in which she said that. I am pretty sure she never said “ As soon as I am president I am going to attack Iran”. Maybe address the question and the full answer…or maybe you missed the entire video.

He says we Won, then he says he needs help (from NATO, yanno after spending years bashing them), then he says it was a test and doesn’t need them anyway. Then he says it's winding down, then he says it wont be over until he feels it in his bones. He was “shocked” they fought back, also shocked they closed the strait. Are you kidding me? This is who we have leading us into WW3?

I don't have any answers for you but I will say that Bill Maher, whose opinion I trust, said "a crazy person does not live in the White House. Someone who plays a crazy person on TV does".

That's all we can hang our hats on, brother.

this is true. I do love Bill Maher. One of the only people on TV who sees both sides POV. Would love for him to be right in this case but I dunno

Just because some people chant "death to America" in the streets does not mean we HAVE to fight them. How would you like it if other countries took military action based on our protests?

Have you ever stopped and asked yourself why they chant "death to America?" Could it that for the last 70 years we have dictated their borders, directly interfered with their politics, and treated the entire region as a bomb testing ground? And let's not clutch our pearls at "death to America" chants. Iranians' can also play a 30 second highlight reel of us doing the same thing. We even have a presidential candidate singing "Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran." I know it is a wild thought, but maybe we can allow one generation in the middle east to grow up without starring down the barrel of the U.S. military.

"The drones will continue bombing you until moral improves"

and which protests would those be?

We only burn the American flag, burning any other flag BUT the American flag would be called a Hate Crime……but chanting Death to America on our own shores is called Free Speech.

We actually had a vigil in NYC for the slain Ayatollah

I didn’t think this military action was necessary but I do feel our democracy is better than a tyrannical theocracy but not everyone in our country agrees with me.

Every protest in the U.S. will have someone shouting out emotional charged hyperbolic statements. Personally, I would not want other countries to base their policies on the statements of said individuals. That does not mean I support death to America statements… I just stick it in the same bucket as a Jan 6th protester, an Antifa protestor, or a politician singing about bombing a country. In all cases, they are emotional outbursts attempting to address a serious issue. Some on this thread or trying to say that is enough reason to go to war… I disagree.

I agree with you on that. I like living in a country where we can disagree with our government. But for some reason plenty on this thread don’t seem to share that view. They would rather shut down any criticism about a poorly planned out war by stating we had to do it eventually since they hate us.
