[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Moulton is wrong.  This is not anything like Vietnam.  For one thing, the Viet Cong did not have a nuclear weapon and call for "Death to America."  While it appears that Iran does not yet have a nuclear weapon, we know they desperately want one and likely have the capacity to make one rather quickly.  They also have and were getting more ballistic weapons that can reach Europe and could get some that could reach the US in the future.

And, almost 50,000 killed in Vietnam.  We want no soldiers killed, but it could be here if Iran gets the weapon.  They funded much of the terrorism in the Middle East, here, and in Europe.

This is not the same.

And, John Kerry's Congressional testimony at the time was way, way out of line.  He may have been brave during his three or four months there, but he literally threw it all away when he returned.  He was following the JFK model--but he was no JFK.  Irony, that JFK also played a role in our activity in Vietnam.[/quote]
There’s no evidence that Iran was suddenly closer to having a nuke than they were six months or a year before Trump arbitrarily decided to launch an illegal war.[/quote]

You are willing to take that risk. How close do they have to get for you to change your mind?

So you agree there was no new evidence to justify starting the war. If that’s the case, why did Trump wait so long to start it? Seems pretty negligent if the danger has been the same since the first day of his term.[/quote]
