Prime Minister Mark Carney argues the war against Iran was justified because it halted Tehran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons. The evidence, Ted Snider writes, suggests otherwise. Iran was not building a bomb, diplomacy had already achieved major concessions, and the war inflicted immense human, economic, and environmental costs.
Oh don’t get me wrong, the destruction is terrible. The deaths are terrible. The cultural sites are incredibly sad. But this could be like the death of the Ottoman empire, the Roman empire, the Qing dynasty, etc.
All of this being led by Israel for decades of course, fomenting hatred of the Iranian people and anyone not Israeli (even Jews that spoke out against Israel). Of course Iran had time to prepare and make sure that they made the war count.
