Fool Me Twice: The Case for War With Iran Is Even Thinner Than It Was for Iraq

The Trump admin can't seem to settle on a reason for war with Iran. That hasn't stopped them from planning a war without a "why."

@milo

I was in the US for meetings,  just before Bush attacked Iraq.

Most people in the bar after work were talking against war.

I went back a few weeks later.
Most were enthusiastic supporters of the war. "Support our troops!", "Stand with our President!", "USA! USA! USA!"

Patriotism is a vice, not a virtue.
