1. Remember that Iran is just Iraq with a different letter at the end.

Not our place to get involved there. Iraq was a costly mistake and this one could be even more costly.

2. the difference between now and Iraq is the government

with Iraq, the government was the leading player in hyping the war, and the media played along with them. With Iran, the administration is making very clear statements downplaying the threat, and Erin Burnett has to blatantly distort what they say in order to push the war.

3. The wording is the same as in the lead up to the Iraq War. The only difference is the absence

of the administration in the push for war.

That at least is a good sign.

The question is, is the American public dumb enough to fall for it again, so soon?
Of course they are.

4. Of course they are. And the next Repub administration will kick it off.

Expect it. It's a package deal, like an accessory that comes with a product. New Republican administration, war included.
