Why should America go to war with Iran? Maybe we should keep our nose out of Iran's business. .
Ever since we toppled a fairly elected democratic government and installed a despotic dictator in its place they've been cranky with us. We saved them from socialism and need to be taught a lesson in gratitude.

Praise the God. Let all the good, loyal, true Christians put on the armor of God and join the military so we can wage righteous crusade against the Godless infidels.

No...I don't know why this is a thing every election....but no.

To be clear, we killed their best general with a missile....and their response was to blow up an empty hanger (and call ahead to make sure it was empty) then accidentally shoot down a Ukrainian airliner.

My confidence in their ability to split the atom without annihilating themselves is severely diminished.

We should have stopped them a long time ago. My guess is that Israel knows its now or never because Biden won't back them.
And just like that, we go from "Trump is awesome because he's the first modern president who didn't start a war" to "about time Trump started a war".

Iran is a threat. It's not the same as going after oil.

You're absolutely correct. Just look at how it's sneaking up on all those US military bases.

Except that tis time we have Trump.

Esper replacement Chris Miller tells US troops: 'It's time to come home'

But again, today's news from the Pentagon are about withdrawing from Afghanistan, rather than starting a new war. Perhaps Trump wants to be remembered a person who ends wars, rather than start new ones.

Perhaps indeed... and to Donald's credit, he's in a very unique position to be able to do this.

For any other president, to give up and sound the retreat would be seen as political suicide and a indelible black mark on their legacy... Donald need not worry about the political ramifications, as it seems unlikely he's going to have many friends anyway in Washington once he loses his power, and the state of his legacy at this point places him firmly in "nothing left to lose" territory.

President Donald Trump asked senior advisers last Thursday about potential options for attacking Iran's main nuclear site, US media report.

The advisers warned him that military action could spark a broader conflict, officials were cited as saying.

Last Wednesday, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) published a report saying that Iran's stockpile of low-enriched uranium had reached 2,442.9kg (5,385.6lb) - far above the 202.8kg limit set under the nuclear deal and theoretically enough to produce two nuclear weapons.

"He asked for options. They gave him the scenarios and he ultimately decided not to go forward," one official told Reuters news agency.

Another told the Wall Street Journal that "a conflict with Iran ends badly for everyone involved".

Keep in mind that Trump certified that Iran was complying with the nuclear deal, until he tore it up.

It would hardly be outside Donald's character to have his last acts in office end up creating a massive mess for Biden to clean up and/or take the blame for.

He is seriously dangerous to national security.

Can't claim to love your enemy and put a bullet in them at the same time, IMO.
