What view are you approaching this from? Liberal pacifist or libertarian pacifist? because it’s not from any conservative POV that I can see, with the “can’t get enough war” rhetoric. Waiting for Iran to strike while we refuse to act is not a solution. Bad enough the campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan were conducted in a manner that the liberals wanted (that includes McCain), resulting in wasted effort, wasted money and Iran stronger in the region as a result—Iraq is now a satellite state for them.

And I don’t see how this has aught to do with the thread. Bad enough that Putin is aiding Iran in their quest to build nukes. Iran is already on the record as to several things they want to do with nuclear weapons, and they are all in an offensive manner.

As far as war and the desire thereof, look up George Washington quotes sometime. He was adamant about the USA having to be “always ready for war”.
