I don't want to vote or a candidate that will put us into a war with Iran

[Seeinghope]

Iraq is a disaster and we are still dealing with the repercussions from It. The country itself is decimated and the people are still dealing with atrocities because of us. We all know that we had no good reason to go into Iraq and seeing what has happened weighs heavily on me even though I was totally against going in their to begin with.

I cannot come to grips with going into Iran or taking aggressive military action against them. It will involve many civilian deaths.....again. We always worry about us, but what about the innocent in the other countries.

I have heard "experience, experience, experience". Yes Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State and she chose hawkish solutions for issues in the M.E. and Central America. Her record, experience, resume and even words have told me what to expect.

How do you justify a vote for a candidate that you know will launch another pre-emotive strike against a country with possible nukes and cause countless innocent lives lost?

1. Or Syria, or any country.

Hillary is a warhawk.

Conflict is inevitable with her
in the oval office.

War is good for Wall St.

2. Then don't vote for Trump.

Clinton will honor Obama's agreements with Iran.

3. Like she honored him with her server?

4. and Sid Blumenthal

Obama specifically didn't want him involved, and Hillary relied on him anyway, which in no small part led to the war in Libya and all its catastrophic consequences.

5. Exactly, people are too myopic to see it though.

6. Sorry, but you don't get to decide

It's one dollar - one vote. And unless you're chummy with superdelegates, you don't really have a say.


This is America, Dude. Learn the rules!

7. Killing people is not a progresseive value.

8. By the way, who called for a "pre-emotive strike against a country with possible nukes," other than

Lindsey Graham?

10. Bush in Iraq

[Agnosticsherbet]

11. Is he running?

[Seeinghope]

13. You asked "who callED..... ". past tense

[Agnosticsherbet]

17. Sorry, I was joking.

[bahrbearian]

16. Maybe

9. But think of the PROFITS!!!!!!

I imagine Team Hillary is well positioned to maximize profits in the event of a war with Iran...

12. Suggest changing your thread title from "I don't want to" to "I won't"

[Seeinghope]

14. That is pretty much where I am at. BUT I have a terrible fear of Trump in office.

15. I don't want to follow anyone who believes in Armageddon

or some other violent dystopian future. We have the power of CHOICE to imagine another future. The military can be used to protect the planet against those who would kill the oceans, forests and mountains for their own profit. There are other dangers out there besides fighting amongst ourselves.

If we can go to the Moon we can make hazmat robots to clean up danger zones and oceans, and plant food forests and replenish the soil so it can hold water, we must preserve what lands and water we can. But people who actually believe in Last Days Armageddon scenarios are allowing the Earth to be destroyed, and actually contributing to it, because they have given up imagining another scenario. It's sick--and I don't want to support this sickness.

18. It will be a painful choice for anti-war activists.

Kissinger's buddy who voted in favor of the Iraq War vs. a stupid, belligerent clown.

Where is the lesser in that evil?
