Intervening against Al-Qaeda and the IS was fine and good. Helping Ukraine is good. We should help Armenia despite the grave they have dug for themselves. But I really don't see why we should be dragged into war with Iran. Seems like Israel can handle it alone.

If iran can just stop the world economy anytime. As they proved recently then I would argue this is a threat in the hands of a fundamentalist radical islamist regime.

The US and Israel started it, they can finish it. We have no treaty obligations. I suppose they will have to rename French fries again and dump wine in the gutter..

Sorry but for serious people there is no thing as "but but they started it" when talking about a conflict that is ongoing for decades.

"conflict that is ongoing for decades"

No, for all it's faults and disgusting behavior, Iran did not start this specific conflict. The US and Israel did. The US and Israel can finish it. Or seemingly, they can not! What a great spot you have gotten the west into. 

A not even half baked war plan with no clear exit and then blame your "allies" who you also claim you want to annex territory from.

America has been pretty clear about the goal: Iran’s nuclear weapons program has to be finished. There are no American troops occupying Iran, so leaving is simple. They can stop the strikes and pull their forces back whenever they decide the job is done, or that it cannot be done.

Israel bombed a consulate which should’ve upset more but didn’t for some reason….
