The people never held to account for their warmongering in Iraq are now driving U.S. policy against Iran. They can't be allowed to drag us into another war.
Many of us lived through the gruesome Iran-Iraq war, when Saddam Hussein's U.S.-made missiles rained down on cities in Iran. Hundreds of thousands lost their lives in a drawn-out conflict that eventually ended in a stalemate.
And while the destruction of the two wars dominated events in the Middle East, another conflict loomed on the horizon. A U.S. military confrontation with Iran over its nuclear program. Now, the U.S. is ratcheting up the pressure, intending to collapse the agreement completely and set the stage for war. Mr. Bolton has threatened Iran with"unrelenting force" and boasted about American aircraft carriers and heavy bombers dominating the Persian Gulf.
It is not yet too late to turn away from this destructive path. Trump himself, unlike John Bolton, has stated repeatedly that he does not want another costly war in the Middle East. Congress has not authorized a war with Iran, and if it takes steps to assert its role as the only branch of government with the power to declare war, it can ensure we don't end up in a disastrous military conflict based on the whims of the President or his un-elected National Security Advisor.
