When I heard the news that we had killed a popular Iranian general, my first reaction was OMG, Trump is getting us into another war!
Statements from Biden and Warren emphasized first the badness of Soleimani. I don't care how bad he was. For Trump to murder someone without the consultation and consent of Congress was wrong!
I want to hear emphatic condemnation from our politicians. I want them to reflect the fear and dismay that most of us feel!

(7,277 posts)her statement could not have been clearer -
No More Middle East Wars
Were on the brink of yet another war in the Middle Eastone that would be devastating in terms of lives lost and resources wasted. Were not here by accident. Were here because a reckless president, his allies, and his administration have spent years pushing us here.
Donald Trump ripped up an Iran nuclear deal that was working. Hes repeatedly escalated tensions. Now hes assassinated a senior foreign military official. Hes been marching toward war with Iran since his first days in officebut the American people wont stand for it.
All three of my brothers served in uniform. I know the sacrifices we ask of them and their families. Trumps actions put every service member and diplomat in the region at risk. This is a moment for vigilancefor Americans to speak up and speak out. No more Middle East wars.
Neither could the follow up

(92,479 posts)he was not a good person
While the OP seems to be upset because they mentioned that he was not a good person, I wonder what the OPs position was when President Obama ordered the killing of bin Laden?
