Saying Iran was “fully responsible” for attack on U.S. Embassy in Iraq, Trump ordered 750 U.S. soldiers there + 3,000 more prepared for possible deployment. HERE WE GO AGAIN. Be very clear: Saddam Hussein kept Iran at bay & with our invasion of Iraq we created this entire mess

How would any American feel if we woke up to read that France, or Japan, or North Korea let's say, "ordered 3,000 troops deployed to the United States." Like, whuh...?

Our image of Commander-in-Chief must change; it shouldn't be "Cowboy in Chief" or "Brute Force Officer in Charge." That's the dangerous image that took us to where we are. We need someone who recognizes the dynamics of a perpetual war machine & understands the dynamics of peace.

That ship sailed long ago. Trump inherited this situation. As long as the US has a diplomatic compound there the US must defend it. Are you against defending our people when they are attacked, Marianne?

US infrastructure gets a grade of D+, real wages have been frozen for decades and people can’t afford healthcare but somehow they always find money for endless illegal wars that transfer trillions from the taxpayer to the price gouging military contractors.

There were good reasons to invade Iraq that everyone seems to forget. Saddam refused to let U.N. inspectors in repeatedly. When they were allowed in they were not given free access to suspected nuclear sites. This went on for two years. Germany, Britain, France, Russia all .....

We also can't forget that in 1954 America backed a coup to overthrow a democratically elected Marxist leaning government to put in place the autocratic Shah. Similar to Qaddafi he made many good reforms but also committed atrocities. In 1979 Iran simply took its country back.
