Now, that doesn't mean that there aren't people with bad motivations that are genuinely anti-Semitic or that genuinely have fascist inclinations or absolutely are. But I think there needs to be space to criticize the mythologizing of war in general. and the justification for endless wars all the time. Like Iran, I hope Trump does not go into Iran. That seems like a very bad idea.

She goes, I understand that there are terrorists out there that are dangerous, but we got to find a way to deal with them without committing troops to stand there in an Islamic country.
