Iran war, immigration crackdown pointless and cruel

What are we in for next? Another war without provocation? Another way to kill the best our society has to offer — the young, the strong with a great future ahead of them! For what? So our president gets his fill of finally getting a chance to test his war machine? Why? So Iran won’t build a nuclear warhead? Why not negotiate? What was wrong with President Barack Obama’s agreement, which could be solidified by more and better negotiations?

Why are we the watchdog of the world? Did we really deserve a president like we currently have? What is wrong with us? How much violence have we seen so far? Innocent people locked up in the most vile prisons for just wanting to be free from their oppressors and have a chance to have better life. They never have a chance now! Why are we condoning the behavior of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement? The shooting and killing? Who and where are we these days?

I believe we now are known worldwide as killers of the innocent, the invaders of countries and for starting unnecessary wars. We have alienated the rest of the free democratic countries, made enemies with countries who possess the ability to destroy us, and have done nothing at all about keeping our citizens safe and thriving! What a horrible mess we are in.

I hope to God that there are people left in this country who have the willingness and ability to stop this!
