America should not go to war with Iran.

Debate Information

This just my opinion, but I tend to be anti-war. I think war should be restricted to a strict Constitutional process, no matter who is President. Neither political Party is immune from critique. Obama was prowar in my opinion, and so are many Republicans. I think this whole "mine is bigger than yours" makes both leaders look like petulant children. I am politically a centrist, so please don't think I am a liberal. On a religious note, Jesus predicted wars and rumors of wars, as a negative in Matthew 24, and the Bible says: As much as is possible, live at peace, with all men.

    Iran is one of those states (along with North Korea, Syria, Pakistan and Palestine) that are too unstable and unpredictable to make board statements like this about them. Today going to war with any of them would make little sense, but it could change just a few months later. These countries are some of the worst human rights abusers in the world, with highly unreasonable governments and abysmal quality of life. You can never be sure that tomorrow the situation in them will not blow up and require a massive response.

    Obviously, one should not take actions to provoke a war, all other things considered equal. However, there are no guarantees in the international politics, and one day an armed response may be warranted.
