If you do the research, you will find that the United States has entered into many treaty-deals with many nations throughout time. Most of those nations with whom we had been at war could not be trusted at the time of the treaty signing. Some of those nations still cannot be trusted...Russia comes to my mind, perhaps you think of Germany or Japan.
Here is my question: If you have an on-going dispute with a neighbor that threatens to erupt into a physical confrontation, would you wish to enter into a treaty of non-violence or ring his doorbell and sucker punch the guy? This would seem to be the two choices the United States has with Iran. We have already sucker punched and invaded one Middle East sovereign country during President G. W. Bush's tenure. I am for NOT repeating that scenario any time soon! However, If you listen carefully to many GOP presidential candidates they seem to favor G.W.'s Game plan. Okay, but before we engage in one more war...
Congress should bring back the mandatory military draft. This will allow equal sacrifices of young lives across America's social and economic spectrum. Personally, I am tired seeing poor kids die in rich mens' wars.
