    “because Israel wants it” is also America wants it.

    Iran serves as a last remaining resistance to Israel’s expansionist goals, take them down and they’ll take over Lebanon, Jordan, parts of Syria and Egypt.

    That’s decades of insurgency and civil wars where American weapons manufacturers can make huge profits both arming extremists and bombing them. Brown people die in the process, but who cares about that.

      For sure. I guess my confusion is better stated as “what dumb shit reason are Republican citizens using as justification?”

      There just isn’t any way that this benefits the average American.

        It benefits the average Christian American because they’ll get taken into heaven. See, the Jews all have to gather in Israel to kick off the war that leads to the Second Coming and the Rapture.

        I wish this were a joke. That’s really what they believe.
