In a rebuke of his own party’s rhetoric, congressman Eric Swalwell said this weekend, “Now is the time for values-based arguments against war with Iran,” adding: “NOT process (‘Come to Congress’) ones.”
His point is well taken, but I’m skeptical that the opposition to the strike is focused on the machine that made it inevitable, instead of focused on Trump individually.
Don’t worry, guys! If some country bombed, let’s say for example, 2 of our buildings in NYC, would we treat that as act of war? Nah… probably not. Surely we’d just shrug and move on with peace negotiations!
I also heard that when just a single harbor was bombed, that too was considered an act of war?
No we would do the right thing and blame the religion that those people ostensibly used to justify their terrorism that about ~1 billion other people practice who don’t commit terrorism, become super Xenophobic about it and violate the privacy of countless Americans who practice that religion (or I guess could be mistaken for doing so by idiots?) and completely avoid thinking about what motivated the acts of terror or what the intentions of the attack were (which was to get us to do exactly what we did to a T).
