I continue to support our intervention into Iran for 3 reasons.
* They now have ballistic missiles that can hit withing the EU
* The can't be allowed nuclear capabilities
* We have to stop the terrorism of the Iranian proxies: Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthies.
And there is an important 4th reason: We must stop further threat from Iran by overthrowing the Islamic State. We need to get far more aggressive, perhaps hitting Carg Island.

The Golden Rule Vs the 10 Commandments in Public Schools
Well then, it's time to put away that lovely Taylor Venetian cutaway, pick up a rifle, and volunteer for military duty against Iran and to exhort your children to do the same!
Bruce, as far as I know, does not possess the skills of a B-2 pilot, the timing of an F-16 pilot, or the skills to service F-35's. I suppose he could report to Raytheon, but does he possess programing skills at that level? This is not the Revolutionary War where we go out in the shed, find our musket, and hike off through the woods to find the Red Coats.
Do you remember WMD? The same comments were made that you just regurgitated. Iraq had no WMD.
It's very simple: if it's true that Iran has the weapons you mentioned, then Israel too should be bombed.
India has nukes, and that prompted Pakistan to acquire them. Same with Russia and the US.
You cannot bomb a country into submission; the one time that worked was Japan in 1945. Do you want that again?
There was never a good reason to go to war against Iran. Btw, the Neocons took out Iraq, the sworn enemy of Iran. That was a good decision. You see, Neocons never look long-term; they just bomb.
The WMDs of Iraq can not be equated with the Islamic Theocracy in Iran. Apples and oranges.
You are probably correct about 10/07. I think Trumps push to deny Iran Nukes is good intentioned but either China or Russia could just give them a few nukes. The is why it is so important to overthrow the Islamic Theocracy in Iran and replace it was a secular government.
I have studied the Koran, Hadiths and Sunna's etc. along with Islamic history. That is because I've lived in the Dearborn area for 72 years. I really do think most of the Muslim people, in Dearborn, are fine but there are some radical bad apples.
Islam is a dangerous parasitic political ideology which began with the Hijra into Medina in 622. They overtook the government and beheaded, raped and murdered thousands. And the very same script has repeated for the last 1400 years.
Keep in mind the theocracy was foisted on the Iranians who are largely Persian and not Muslim. In the past year alone Iran has slaughtered over 100,000 secular dissidents. 47 years of this Islamic crap is enough.
I'm not comparing two countries. I'm commenting on the same inane strategy the Neocons use. They don't care about anything except war. No logic, no strategy, certainly no exit strategy. They don't care about anything, even our soldiers; they don't care about costs or debt. They only care about their insane version of democracy that is psychopathic-driven.
You think there is a strategy behind these non-human leaches? Nope, their plan in Iraq was to strike other countries; Iran was next. Documents are available. This never happened because the military got their asses wiped because of simple road bombs. It never works out, never.
The strategy in Iran was believing Netanyahu, who claimed killing the leader would work; it didn't, and it never does.
Trump stepped on his dick; now he's trying to bomb his way out. It won't work; it never does.
Again there were no WMDs in Iraq while Iran has called for the death of Israel and the US for nearly 50 years . . . and they are basically a death cult. I was a Systems Analyst for most of my career so I tend to study each issue separately. I want to see the Abraham Accords signed. I want peace in the region. None of that is possible if the US simply walks away. Plus it will be seen as a sign of weakness by China and other countries.
I'm an Old Perennial Hippie so me first instinct is never to go to war. But sometimes the Neocons push for war, but in other cases the wars come for you. History is messy. You should hope we can overthrow the Iranian regime.
Like Thou shalt not steal? Like when Iran nationalized their oil and the US and British had to protect their investment of THEIR oil and overthrow Iran's democratically elected leader in 1953, known as Operation Ajax?
I agree that teaching the Golden Rule and Ten Commandments in school would be helpful so when the kids grow up, they will not elect leaders who take other countries' natural resources.
History is both complex and messy. But I maintain my position. The Theocratic Regime of Iran has got to go. They pose an existential threat to both Israel, the Gulf nations and the United States. If I were president I would be considering going after Carg Island. THAT would break them though there could be unanticipated ramifications that are beyond my pay grade. One thing that does worry me is the fact there are probably Iranian sleeper cells in the US due to Biden letting 25 million unvetted Illegal Aliens in during his administration.
I think you are mostly stupid, but at least you are fighting a few good fights. Iran already has nucs, there is incontrovertible proof that Israel killed its own people and falsely blamed others to start their war, the threat of terrorism is nothing compared to a nuc war by Pres Dump!
You are probably correct about 10/07. I think Trumps push to deny Iran Nukes is good intentioned but either China or Russia could just give them a few nukes. The is why it is so important to overthrow the Islamic Theocracy in Iran and replace it was a secular government.

John, I just want to be sure you understand the reasons, your friends apparently being unable to elicit, but that most sane people behind the Iran war feel justified in holding:
-- They took our embassy staff captive for about 1.5 yrs and never said " uuum, sorry!" but instead "Death to America" and at every opportunity since then have effectively killed and maimed US citizens and armed forces in the Middle East for half a damn century. Payback, so.
-- They have(had?) ICBM's and have told us and shown they will use them. This must be made impossible. They will certainly use them on their neighbors as they have shown and this will disrupt WORLD trade and energy supplies. Neutralization, so.
-- They have no government but a totalitarian one; their people have been neutralized against reversing the dictators' hate-filled rules: Murder of opponents, rape of women, terror against the people of Iran. Freeing the people to rule with sanity, so.
-- They DID have the critical mass and materials to make nuclear bombs and place them in America. Perhaps you do not care or see this as a real threat but most sane folks do. The fissile materials need to be so disbursed as to make them untenable to reconstitute or removed. Defense of the American People, so.
-- The three Hamas, Houthis, whatever nutcase groups, are supporting Iran's projection of terror throughout the middle east against not only Israel but other Muslim nations also. How do you think Trumpie was able to get them all to go along with the Abraham Accords? No one likes these terrorists running Iran. Defense of the Middle East against the ONE rogue actor, so.
John, just imagine: How much more calm the world would be without these idiots wrecking the center of the Asian continent? What would happen to the price of oil? What would happen to the economies of many countries around the world.
We are four months into this! You could at least wait 9 mo or so before whining like a "panican".
Folks, JFK was likely murdered because he refused the Neocons and their war plans in Vietnam and Cuba. (Look up Operation Northwoods) These evil, unelected Neocons, along with immoral elected officials, wanted JFK replaced by Johnson, who was a Neocon.
Officials in DC, including presidents, are owned by powers who gain great wealth from wars. Nothing about war is truthful. The first casualty of war is truth.
Listen to John. He's giving out truthful information. If you're for war, you have bought the propaganda and need to review your thinking process. The war makers count on your support.
"A statement heard frequently feels familiar and normal, thereby creating a strong cognitive bias to believe it. Psychologists call this the illusory truth effect." - John Leake, Mind Viruses
Honestly, little the government does benefits, "we the people". The Iran war is not being fought at face value. Secrets in the dark. Money changing hands. Propaganda all around.
Agree - 100% but disagree with this statement "The last time the American homeland was threatened was in 1814 when British forces occupied and burned much of Washington D.C.. Since then, the enemy hasn’t been at the gates; he’s been in our heads."
Our borders have been invaded massively since the 1980s amnesty deal that was supposed to secure the borders and require employers to verify citizenship. That is the only reason we should have a military and that is to protect our real borders.
The Anti-Federalists like Brutus, Patrick Henry, et. al. had good arguments why standing armies are a threat to liberty and believed that maintaining state militias could solve that problem to be on the ready, like the national guard. While I understand the military is a ticket out of poverty for many, we could still use that idea, but more along the lines of Amer-Corp to help Americans during natural disasters, etc.
Thank God for Brutus, Patrick Henry and all the Anti-Federalists who fought back against Hamilton who said in Fed. #84 that "bills of rights are unnecessary...but dangerous."
Except for these occasional screeds I generally enjoy what you write. This current one does nothing to entice me to buy your book. “ Indeed, were it not for the delusions generated by debt financing and air power, they would see the Iran War for what it is—a preposterously ruinous and criminal enterprise waged by a senescent President who has no coherent strategy, and who is too beholden to his ego and his billionaire cronies to serve the interests of We the People.”
The majority of the military actions you have listed I agree.. were like Smedley Butler stated the American Military being used like a gangster/ enforcer for America's Crony Capitalists..
That is a Fact, another Fact .. There are exceptions to every rule...
Such as Irans Islamist Death Cult.. that hijacked that poor nation and has directed at least $2 trillion+ of their GDP over the last 47 years.. toward the ultimate goal of Global Jihad.. Literally stating publicly for 47 consecutive years that they are absolutely dedicated to the complete destruction of ALL the Infidels of the West.. especially the Great Satan.. the United States of America... They were making continuous strides toward that goal year after year after year for 47 Consecutive years.. their production of nuclear weapons was very near completion..
So even though Trump is a conflicted Crony Capitalist he understood clearly that if someone States publicly.. they are going to kill you and everyone you know.. wipe out America for 47 Consecutive years you don't waste any more time like the previous 4 administrations have and negotiate for Peace.. It is a Jihadist ploy for more time to go Nuclear..
Lets remember too..
The 4 yr. stealth invasion by the Muslim Death Cult created by the biggest traitor in American history.. Joe Biden... has now populated America with a total [according ChatGpt] out of the 4.5 M here.. 350,000 Muslims believe that violence is fully justified in establishing Sharia Law.. comforting thought?? 350K Inside our Nation Now...
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, General Patton, Ulysses S Grant, Abraham Lincoln, FDR., Harry S Truman all understood the Truly God awful business of War.. They also understood.. sometimes there is no alternative.. If you want to preserve or in our case, reestablish.. a Democratic Constitutional Republic...
The U.S. did not start this war with Iran, it goes the other way, John. They declared war on the U.S. in 1979 and have waged it against us and our allies since then, with over 1,000 Americans killed before Trump said we need to do something about it. This war will end only when those who chant Death to America are eliminated. The sooner the better.
I continue to support our intervention into Iran for 3 reasons.
* They now have ballistic missiles that can hit withing the EU
* The can't be allowed nuclear capabilities

That makes no sense. It does not follow logically. Seems like an emotional argument.
What doesn't follow logically?
Bruce, as far as I know, does not possess the skills of a B-2 pilot, the timing of an F-16 pilot, or the skills to service F-35's. I suppose he could report to Raytheon, but does he possess programing skills at that level?

History will prove you wrong about the war in Iran.
A lot of people told me that about the Iraq war in 2003.
They say that in every war. What war was won since WW2?
I’m so fed up with the line/lie: “If Iran got nukes, it would be a disaster for the whole world…It would be all over.”
BUT…
Of all the countries in the world that have nukes (many enemies of ours) ONLY ONE HAS USED A NUCLEAR WEAPON against another country: Only the US!
"A statement heard frequently feels familiar and normal, thereby creating a strong cognitive bias to believe it. Psychologists call this the illusory truth effect." - John Leake, Mind Viruses

Btw, that was one of the reasons for the Second Amendment. The founders did not want standing armies. Why? Because you're gonna use them.
Thank God for Brutus, Patrick Henry and all the Anti-Federalists who fought back against Hamilton who said in Fed. #84 that "bills of rights are unnecessary...but dangerous."
War is to cull the herd. Mostly, I believe it is to get Christians killed.
