I do NOT want Trump to go to war with Iran. No needlessly.
I get Iran is a totalitarian regime. I get they do not have Western values and place no store in the West. I get that they are antagonistic.
For similar reasons to my not wanting Trump to escalate things with Saudis over that journalist, Jamal, I think the long term consequences for instability in that area of the world is NOT worth it.
THAT said, I am not a pacifist. IF they have done enough and there is a verified and significant threat, then sure. It just better be worth the knock on effects. Libya certainly was not worth it.
