    are we going to take the bait?
    It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison
    Live as free people, yet without employing your freedom as a pretext for wickedness; but live at all times as servants of God.

    Seems to me the US has done the best it can to avoid confrontation without allowing the usual bullies to just walk all over everyone. This siuation wouldn't be happening had we not shown weakness and hesitation in confronting bad guys.

    Way too much proof this administration isn't willing to back up it's words/promises. How many threats IF Iran/proxies did something, then over 100 attacks before doing something. It was inevitable.

    The US/West has been trying to rest on its laurels for way too long. The usual bad guys are at their drawing boards. As I've stated occasionally over the years, we're going to keep not dealing with these creeps until we have to and it costs us way more than it would have had we just kept a firm lid on the can. The only thing Iran hasn't done to us is officially declare war

    I just said pretty much the same on another thread. Great minds.
