I voted for Trump because he promised "no more wars." Holding a man to his most important promise about matters of life and death is what self-respecting grownups do.

The Focal Points

Many readers were offended by my post Both Sides of TDS. They apparently believe that Trump's decision to break ten years of promises not to start new wars is a minor point. Others apparently believe that Trump always intended to vanquish the Iranian regime, which they believe "has been at war with the US since 1979." They seem to believe that Trump never mentioned this intention because he assumed that prospective voters would understand that attacking Iran did not qualify as a "new war."
