I’m supposed to abhor this war and condemn it everywhere, but why can’t I bring myself to do so?
Over time, I’ve come to understand something that once puzzled me when I heard about Cuban exiles decades ago: sometimes the desire for change becomes so overwhelming that even terrifying possibilities begin to feel like the only remaining path forward.
This is absolutely a pro-war article with a few throwaway sentences suggesting that war is horrible so it doesn't look totally out to lunch, but coming to the conclusion that it will be worth it in the end. Well I witnessed the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and let me tell you, it is not going to be worth it in the end. I don't care how many Iranian diaspora you dig up to tell me that it will be. It is moronic to believe the US' aim here is anything benevolent.
Frankly, it's pretty disappointing for the CBC to be printing this attempt at opinion shaping.
You're here to propagandize, your opinion is worthless.
