"the only country that doesn’t seek hegemony in the world"??????????????

The U.S. is only one of a select few that could be characterized in this way (perhaps China??, the Soviet Union is gone so they don't count, U.K. maybe in the 19th century, France not really since Dien Bien Phu and probably earlier (think Napoleon), Germany not since WWII, Japan also not since WWII).

Is it conceivable that we could go to war with Iran under a democratic president. That has the potential of destroying the democratic party.
