Wars were started over less. Maybe a little more patriotism is called for nowadays
- krapp 9y ago>Wars were started over less. We're still dealing with the consequences of a war we started for apparently no reason other than than wanting to do it. Maybe we should raise the bar for going to war, and not keep lowering it.
- pyre 9y agoYes, but right now the actions being taking in response are substantially less than going to war.
- lostlogin 9y agoPatriotism is a part of what this was about. Turning down the dial would be more more likely to help in my view.
- pjc50 9y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_Jenkins%27_Ear https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_Jenkins%27_Ear possibly the most famous example. The problem is that Turkey is a member of NATO and a key US ally in the Middle East, which makes going to war with them .. inconvenient.
