You might notice we aren't going to war, although Iran is already waging war throughout the Mideast. The US is imposing crippling economic sanctions that limit Iran's ability to support wars and terrorism while making its government unpopular at home.
Trump's saber-rattling with Iran is both reckless and dangerous. Iran has one of the most powerful armies in the world, and our going to war with them would be utter catastrophe -- not only for them but also for us.

No, the sanctions are not making the government unpopular with the Iranian people; they're only making US unpopular with the Iranian people.

the last thing we humans need is more war. Let's not radicalize anti-US sentiment in Iranian youth who would like to join the new increasingly progresige and connected world . Love is the answer

engagement and communication is the key to understanding and peace. Sanctions spawn resentment and prolong animosity

Reagan’s saber rattling with Russia in the 80’s led to the end of the Cold War. Sometimes you need to be a bully, to get a bully to back down. Obama’s Iran Deal, his red line in Syria, are examples of reckless and dangerous policy. They sound nice but are ineffective.

I’m of the opinion the Soviet’s crazy defense spending to keep up with even crazier US spending did more to end the Cold War. Reagan actually backed down as to not embarrass “Gordy”

You think we’d “kick their ass?” Are you under the impression that either the Vietnam War or the Iraq War went well?
