I listened to RAnd on Cavuto (I think it was) today and he made a lot of sense but then you listen to those who disagree and they make sense also.. what to do? what to do?

well, until I hear valid info that makes me think otherwise, I am saying Trump did the right thing by killing that master terrorist Suleileman or whatever the heck his name was

He was killing Americans

There is the legit fear that the US attack will cause Iran to...

oh, but that's right... t hey already hate us.

looks like we didn't have much to lose.........

I'd like to see US troops get out of Iraq and let the various factions there just fight it out amongst each other, I really would. But attacks on our embassy - not on troops but on diplomatic staff - make it that much harder.

they committed an act of war.

It is my understanding that an embassy is part of a country's sovereignty? But even if that is not accurate, Iran attacked the US and besides all that, we are in a war against extreme, violent jihadist terrorism.

as stated in the post RE Fox News

Tucker Carlson and others seem to think there is no such thing as a just war. Well, others in the world obviously think differently. And what do you do when said others declare war on YOU. You can love peace and quiet all you want but if someone is threatening your life... you will suddenly believe in war to defend said life..

Embassies are inviolable. It’s based on the centuries old standard of the safe passage of diplomats. So it’s not that it’s an act of war, it’s that it’s a violation of international law. Even if you are at war with a country, you don’t attack their diplomats.

If the attacks were only on US troops, we could pull the troops out to keep them out of harm’s way. How do we protect our diplomatic missions though? How do we ensure that the belligerents in Iraq will leave those alone?

i sometimes think people like RAnd Paul and Tucker Carlson just dont... their thoughts on war and related things are incomplete, not fully thought about.

We may not LIKE being "over there" but better to fight terrorist there than here.. Some day we may not even have that option. Well, actually.. What am I saying? As of 911 we do not really have that option. we are already fighting in both places
