"They hate us" is not a valid reason to declare war. And we should try to figure out why they hate us, and see if we can resolve that.
There has been so much endless meddling in the region that there can only ever be a dishonest enemy. For generations the entire region has been bombed, overthrown, installed and bombed again. Of course "they hate us" after all of that and more.
Stop meddling and let the region collapse or collect its strength. Make an honest enemy of them. If "they hate us" still prevails then the argument has merit and these people will get the war they're after to thunderous applause. But that can ONLY be true if they're an honest enemy.
Bonus points, allowing the region to gather its strength could lead to a muslim call to return to the region.
I don't give enough of a shit about the whole thing but that's more being against half arsing it. Glass it or leave it and maybe glass it later. The current rhetoric is just dumb given the politics and war circumstances in play.
