Aunty, from my perspective (lame or not), it really does seem like he has been trying to start a war with Iran. Maybe not "start a war" but certainly the administration has been ratcheting up the rhetoric in a very similar manner as was done pre-Iraq invasion. I do agree with you that an "invasion" of Iran is somewhere between extremely unlikely and impossible. I think it would be specific airstrikes on nuclear facilities if anything but that shouldn't be looked at lightly as one event tends to lead to another.

I also agree with you that Hillary is more similar to Bush's mindset than many other candidates. In fact, the core of the DNC isn't that far off of his mindset, which is a source of frustration for the more progressive dems.
