There is contemplation of war with Iran.  The truth is, Iran has been at war with us for decades. In 1979, Iran seized our embassy in Tehran and took 52 Americans hostage, holding them for over a year. Then—in 1983—Iran’s terrorist arm, Hezbollah, killed 17 American in Beirut. Later that year they killed another 241 in another bombing there.

In Spain in 1984, Hezbollah killed 18 Americans at a restaurant, and bombed the US Embassy in Beirut yet again, killing 11 more. In ’92, they bombed the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires, killing 29 innocents.  And another 85 they killed in Argentina two years later.  There’s TWA Flight 847 and Bobby Stetham’s public execution, and the 1996 bombing of the Khobar Towers killing 19 Americans.

On and on.

Now they seek nuclear weaponry and kill their own dissidents by the tens of thousands.

As Lincoln put it: We didn’t want war, but the war came.  Let’s not be wobbly over it.
