Perhaps, but in fighting the US they put aside differences about who killed Imam Hussein and why. There are more pressing matters, like killing Americans. Arming Hamas and Islamic Jihad and by Iran is an open secret. Don't doubt it for a second that if they feel it necessary they'll arm the Taliban too, if they are not doing it already.

That's a different issue. What business is of Iran to make that determination? Let the Iraqis and the Americans settle that.

I am still waiting on the details of the supposed threat from a country thousands of miles away with a military that is small fraction of ours. This all sounds contrived and short on specifics.
Don't expect a WW II type invasion. Can you say September 11? Even though that was not a Shi'ite operation, the Islamic Republic of Iran is quite capable of staging such a horror show.

Yea, and they might retaliate against the United States if we attack them.

Apparently you think this country has some kind of moral high ground that allows it to bomb, maim and kill citizens of other nations, all without any counter response from those attacked.

Guess what? You're dead wrong.

Obama did that to 7 Arab countries.

Aren't you glad that Trump is against starting such wars that lead to such terrible bombings?




To date. Trump hasn't started any Wars of Choice.

We are in the same place we were when Trump took office. We at least ended the war in Iraq under Obama and Trump just continued on with His effort in Syria.

Would you be in favor of the U.S. cutting support for the Saudi war in Yemen?

Are you talking about the war that Obama started? Sure thing. And when Trump does it, how many of you will be accusing him of betraying America?
