          The U.S. is not a theocracy, Christian or otherwise, for which I thank God.

          I don't care if we, as a nation, act "in accord with the Gospels." If we're going to get into wars, I want our primary goal to be "WIN!!!" I especially don't want us diddling around with endless "proportional responses," which is just another name for "quagmire warfare." In my personal life, I aspire to Matt. 18:21-22. But in warfare, I want our nation to imitate Lamech in Gen. 4:23-24.

            I don't necessarily disagree with that: Say there's a battle occurring, and the general is with his forces in battle actively commanding them, okay, he's "in" the battle and if he dies in it, tough biscuits to him.

            In this case the guy was transiting through an international airport on the way to a diplomatic meeting about peace negotiations with the Iraqi Prime Minister. That isn't a battle space.

            A civilian international airport is not a "battle space".

            Travelling to a scheduled meeting with a Prime Minister is not "coordinating attacks".

            He was at the capital, without troops, in person on a diplomatic mission, on a scheduled visiting to see the Prime Minister, and travelling through a civilian airport. He was definitely not, at that point in time, commanding a battle.

                No. He is saying that they hate us no matter what we do.

                  Exactly. The liberal narrative that taking out Solemani changed Iran's attitude towards the US is pure ignorance.

                    The right wing side of our government certainly does.

                      Whether they hate us or not has nothing to do with it. That they can't trust in agreements they make with us is the problem. This entire escalation of hostilities has to do with Trump pulling out of the agreement made concerning their nuclear development and the re-imposition of crippling sanctions.

                        Hostilities have been escalating since 1978. It's ebb and flow.

                          So you don't think that the current events were an escalation of hostilities? The current escalation isn't necessarily over yet and could escalate further if cooler heads don't prevail.

                            Oh, it's escalating. But us pulling out of the Nuclear farce was just their latest excuse to go after the great satan...

                              Good for you. That's what I said. Trump pulled out of an agreement the U.S. made with Iran which caused an escalation of hostilities which should have been known would happen.

                                How do you know that?
                                The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
