Donald the Dove, indeed
destroying Iran's nuclear capabilities/ambitions won't mean much to the boomer generation, but for those that follow it has a lot of meaning. A nuclear capable Iran would/could eliminate the entire concept of mutual assured destruction that has guided military concepts for decades. There is significant doubt that Iranian leaders care a lot about being a first strike nation and thoughts, right or wrong, that Iran would use a first strike nuclear weapon are not crazy.

It is best to solve the problem when it's easiest to solve the problem. And, it's easiest to solve the problem before Iran has a first strike nuclear capability.

I have to say, I hate modern war. A terrible paradox how “precision” may in the one hand reduce civilian casualties but simultaneously conceals the horror of it. Which just makes it that much easier to wage.

But we already destroyed Iran's nuclear capabilities just a little while ago ... and set them back years and years.

Maybe we need to attack Iran's time travel capabilities, instead? That seems to be the real bugaboo here, no?

Yeah color me skeptical this is “solving the problem.” I’m just tired of Republican administrations starting **** in the Middle East. I did not vote for this ****

Personal, my gut instinct is that this has nothing to do with nuclear stuff, or Israel, or geopolitics. It’s payback for 1979, pure and simple, in the presidents mind. Actually kinda surprised nobody seems to go there.

Being passive is permitting.
There are horrific murders every single day. So it seems like choosing a random, horrible murder and using it to then justify whatever you want. The person was caught, will be tried, etc. It wasn’t the state doing it. No one is arguing they shouldn’t be charged or that she deserved it, etc. It will be punished to the full extent of the law. There is nothing to protest.

agree with you. it would be nice if the random horrible murder was a one off, but that's not the case.

Correct, but do you understand how this murder happened and why it got national attention?
