No justification or support from the public for this war.

Just propaganda and two desperate leaders looking for a distraction.

I certainly don't believe anything from the government of Iran. And on "our" side is Trump. That adds up to 100% bullshit.

It allows people to discount anything that might cause them discomfort.

Surely people should be skeptical about government proclamations during war time. But the skepticism should have limits.

What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy? Mahatma Gandhi
