The “anti-war” thing is another one of those topics that I don’t think either side is properly addressing. It’s one of those topics where I think we’re all missing the point. The anti-war left is just as screwed by the Dems as the anti-abortion right is screwed by the Republicans. I agree that it would be great if we could give up our defense spending but that’s not going to happen no matter which side is in power. There’s a reason for that although I don’t know what the reason is. I know it’s not the desired narrative around here but I don’t think war with Iran is any more or less likely no matter who won the election.

It is simple, if Iran wants a nuke badly enough it will get one, there really isn’t anything else we can do besides the sanctions. We are not going into Iran with large scale ground forces and that is what we would have to do to actually stop them.

Do you remember what happened when North Korea got the bomb…thats right nothing happened. Except for Bush quietly taking their name off of his “countries that support terror” list that is. North Korea became another face at the table where the mutually assured destruction game is played and life went on.

When Iran gets the bomb the same thing will happen for the same reasons, our treaties with South Korea assure the North of our retaliation against an attack on the South. Life goes on. Iran will be assured of our retaliation against any attack on Israel because of our support treaties and again life will go on.
