I woke up this morning to news that we have attacked Iran. This is the second country we've invaded in two months. If you include our oil blockade against Cuba, we are actively working to destabilize a third sovereign entity.
I'd like to remind people that the POTUS who did this is also the same guy who promised to get the U.S. out of "forever wars" ... the same guy who said that he could end the conflict in Ukraine ... the same guy who believes himself worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize... the same guy who promised no new wars.
The article I read said that Israel joined us in our strike, and that we have been planning this strike "for months," meaning the course of action was premeditated, not reactionary. If any country deserves to be invaded, it's certainly Iran. But I'm not convinced this is the right course of action at the right time.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. It's hubris on our part to believe that everyone in the world wants our specific brand of freedom, and it's stupid for us to try to force it on the unwilling.
