Like I said, it's GOOD that a large number of people say that don't want to go to war with Iran. I wish people wouldn't psych themselves out. I was alive when USians were RABID in support of going to war as Vicky points out below. It was DREADFUL.

👀🚨 Bombing another country “that does not pose an imminent m threat to the US without the approval of Congress” is “an unambiguous impeachable offense.” - Democratic Rep @casten.house.gov Need other Dems to show the same kind of courage in this moment.

this is as good as turning the Constitution off. If this is what congressional leaders are going to do when an executive just seizes power from the legislative branch, we do not have one.
