Explain to like I am 25 why all wars are wrong? Every war in the ME gets boo’d in here

Because George Bush and Obama weren’t successful in their 20 year wars so that means we can never have another war again.

No matter what.

Because there are, like, so many things that need fixing here!

Maybe you missed the last 50 years of history of wars in the Middle East?

There are two issues with wars in the Middle East:

1). They are fanatics eager to get to their virgins (or raisins depending on the translation you believe).

2) The west doesn’t fight to win and humiliate and subdue the enemy. You can’t win a war if the opponent doesn’t feel completely defeated.

Because American taxpayers are being robbed to pay for wars on the other side of the planet, you idiot

The problem with this reasoning is that technically every government sponsors terrorists, meaning every government funds and supports proxies that are antagonistic to governments they dislike. If we really want to be honest, the U.S. government has funded Al Qaeda, ISIS, the Mujahideen, etc.

The fact is that our constitution only calls for decisions of war making to be made by Congress. Presidents love to get involved in wars because it shifts focus away from domestic issues. But the wars are open ended and harder to win when they are undeclared. The people, through their elected representatives in Congress, should see and hear the evidence and reasoning debated on and resolved in a republican manner. Despite mental gymnastics and lies, Iran has not attacked American soil and no evidence has been presented to show that such an attack was even imminent or possible. Therefore, not only is this constitutionally unsound, but also unjust.

Now who’s the idiot? No I’m saying that you talk tough on the Internet, but I bet you’re not as tough in person. I bet you’re actually a nerd.

Ignorance.

There’s been a litany of woe in that region for thousands of years, to say they hate each other makes a mockery of the word hate. I don’t mean just the Jews and the Arabs. The Shia and Sunni hate each other just about as badly.

Until one group finally manages to kill off all the rest it won’t change. Expecting anything else is just wishful thinking.

Not even Mr. Libertarian himself, Murray Rothbard, said all wars are wrong.

This shite of making a caricature of libertarianism is way the frick out of hand.

We think war should be used to free US from the shackles of tyranny. The founders would have been stacking bodies here in the US over 100 years ago. That's how far off the rails we are from the founding principles.

Also, if we were truly being threatened, then that is an act of aggression, and using overwhelming force to neutralize that threat would be completely warranted. Problem is, we libertarians don't trust much at all from government sources, which has been shown to be the right call countless numbers of times.

Is there a risk that our government is telling the truth that Iran has weapons that can target our country (I don't even know if they made that claim, but it's just a thought experiment) that they want to launch on us in the next year and they are telling the truth? Yep. But, our government has not earned the benefit of the doubt.
