In reply to the discussion: How Likely is a War with Iran if President Obama is Re-elected? [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)Clinton's policies in Iraq were abominable unless of course the lives of innocents mean nothing. We have zero justification to be bullying Iran or any other country around the world, ZERO. So any talk of 'punishing' any other sovereign nations is irrational, no matter who it is coming from.
The problem is NOT Iran, it is that the US has become a warmongering nation always looking for a new reason to use up all those weapons we have, to test them out, to see how they work, and to justify the obscene military budget that is in itself a crime.
The other problem is we have no real courageous elected officials, except for a very, very few to point out the lies we are constantly told.
Obama will do as he's told by the MIC. If they want another useless and criminal war, he won't have a choice. It's almost pointless to discuss America's wars from the pov of its presidents. All presidents will go to war when they are told, just some will enjoy it more than others.
Which is why it is now up to the people to put a stop to the war mania and to stop talking about a war with Iran as if there could be any possible, reasonable, sane, logical reason to be even talking about it. If our leaders will not just say 'no', then we must. They are out of control, they have killed millions over the past few decases, it is insane, all of it.
