(6,256 posts)1979 during president Carter. Hundreds of innocent Americans working in Iran were taken hostages for 444 days.
From then on our military personnel stationed in friendly middle-east countries have been attacked and killed regularly. Death to America & Israel is daily slogan from Iran leaders. Why does Iran need long range ICBM's to reach USA Along with nukes? Why did 911 hijackers visit Iran before the attack?

(105 posts)Republicans replaced Iran's elected leader with a dictator in the 1950s.
Republicans gave chemical weapons, financial assistance, tech, intelligence, etc. to Iraq after they attacked Iran who lost hundreds of thousands of people in 1980s during the Iraq-Iran war thanks to US support.
Now Republicans started unconstitutional war and committing war crimes while crashing our economy with the rest of the world.
MOST of 9/11 attackers were Saudi, who are Sunni. Not one was Iranian, who are Shia.
Iran can easily make chemical and bio weapons but never used them on US/Israel. Fear of Iran having nukes is based on bigotry and politicians instilling that fear over decades. They are not backwards. They know if one molecule of mustard gas hit Israel that they would be turned to glass. They are fully aware of mutual assured destruction. It's also why they haven't completely unleashed with conventional weapons on surrounding regions.

(18,554 posts).... the executive is to consort/in partnership with and receive approval of congress before actions of war.
War is serious business that inflicts serious repurcussion on the welfare of the citizenry. Our representative in congress should provide the White House with the authority to be able to commence costly and expensive wars.
Our lives and treasure finance these military excursions. In a representative democracy we should get a say too, so the country does not become involved in boondoggle military expeditions that enrich the warmongers, Military Industrial Complex, and Security & Intelligence Industrial Complex.
Justice matters.

(27,776 posts)forward. But Trump thought a war would improve the midterms election results and distract from the Epstein files. He also wanted people to admire his strength and courage. He is failing on every front.
