Apparently, "to be an American" means  waging war on Iran."


To be American demands asking, WHY?  Why does the Trump administration say that it intends to wage war against Iran?
To be a Catholic means, as  the Catechism says, "all of the following criteria be met at the same time in order for a war to be considered just:

•   damage inflicted by the aggressor on the nation or community of nations must be lasting, grave, and certain;

•   all other means of putting an end to it must have been shown to be impractical or ineffective;

•   there must be serious prospects of success;

•   use of arms must not produce evils and disorders graver than the evil to be eliminated. The power of modern means of destruction weighs very heavily in evaluating this condition."
There must be
•   Just Cause: 
•   Comparative Justice
•   Right Intention War can only be conducted to satisfy the just cause
•   Last Resort: Exhaust all peaceful alternatives
•   Probability of Success*
 •   Proportionality
