Stark truth in one sentence.

The neoconservative and interventionist borg blew it when it tried to use the temporary U.S. position in Syria against ISIS to goad Trump into a conflict with Iran . . . .[1]
The anti-Iran background noise doesn’t rise to the same deafening level as the anti-Russian foreground noise but it’s a constant, like a burr in one’s sock. Iranians were jerks when the mullahs took over but didn’t then and don’t now have a lock on bad actions. They were not the ones who started a war in Syria that caused hundreds of thousands of lives and great suffering and destruction. We and our putative “allies” did that and not for any reason that had one damn thing to do with any national interest of the United States, vital or otherwise.

It’s not the Iranians who trouble me but the legions of educated fools inside America who despise traditional America and spit on the Constitution twice before breakfast just to start the day off right. It’s they who are flooding the U.S. with resentful, parasitic, criminal, subversive, arrogant, and/or supremacist people from the third-world. Iran has nothing to do with that. They are destroying America, not Iranians.

Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Libya were at peace with the US and had not attacked us or any of our allies when we attacked them. These are wars of aggression by us against them. They are war crimes, and the political and military leaders that led them are war criminals.

How did we get to the point where our political and military leaders and a large majority of Americans believe it is our right to attack and invade countries whose governments we disapprove of? These last few days almost every newspaper and news broadcast has consisted of anti-Trump diatribes and hysterical jereiads of imminent doom and accusations of betrayal of our allies. Even Fox News has joined the chorus.

I am 75 years old, and I know the horrors of Naziism and Communism and what Germany and the Soviet Union did to their neighbors. I also know our government is (as yet) neither fascist nor communist. But how do Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Libya differ from Poland in 1939 or Hungary in 1956...?
