The Leaders of the World are Out of Control

I keep hearing about how certain people in this administration want to attack Iran.

I look at their perspective and think, "okay, it's kind of understandable if you buy into all that".

Then I think, "would I go to war against the average Iranian"? No. I have no problems with Iranians.

Soooo... why is it that we want to attack them? Well, lets use our imaginations for a minute; let's toss out the leaders of both countries. Think about it. Would there be peace?

Is this the kind of world Lincoln envisioned when he talked about a "government of the people, by the people, for the people"?
