Unequivocally NO!!! I say we should have gone Dresden or Hiroshima on them long ago, starting with the first Gulf War, Aftganiscrap, Iraq, and now Syria and Iran.
No nation on this rock will respect us again and embrace peace like Germany/Japan until we absolutely devastate them. That includes the stubborn tribal types across the Middle East.
I have NO problem with Israel flattening Iran, collateral damage be damned, although I would feel for the pro-western Persians, but they had their chance.
Kill them all! and let America rebuild them into a American-fearing democracy or republic. I would gladly pay more taxes to witness the total destruction of these Mo-heads and pay more to rebuild within our original values. If they don't accept said values and act up, destroy them again.
As for Russia and China, they wouldn't want into the mix if we were that determined. They respect MAD. Our Tridents are out there and they know it. They'd condemn us in United Nations speeches, but who would care after such a devastating attack by Western Civilization? The whining and crying could go for decades. Who cares? We got rid the threat to Western Civilization which is the best.
Yes, I know I'm wishing for an economy busting scenario. I'm good with that if we can just get rid of these atrocious radical Muslims once and for all. Without their side-show, we would rebuild.
That's the key phrase. Quit dicking around, devastate them and destroy again if they reconstitute themselve as a threat to the US.
Works for me. This limited war is c**p and causes the unnecessary loss of American lives, of course the turkey in the WH could care less.
Fight a war to win just as we did in WWII. There were many fanatics in Germany and Japan and they haven’t come back for more.
