Not fighting wars isn't cowardly. Not fighting wars is STUPID. And what's even more dumb is painting anyone who wants to push involvement in a war as a bloodthirsty warmonger.

That being said, the effects of war with Iran would be incredibly disastrous. I would never trust such an avid Zionist to keep us out of wars in the middle east.

I'm guessing you've never been to war.

Neither has Sanders. He seems quite convinced he's more than qualified to make decisions on the importance and damage of war. And I'll bet you that most members of the armed forces are far more "war-mongering" than Bernie is.

No one wants a bloody war. No one wants war, period. However, sometimes it is necessary to further national interests. If we lived in a world of peaceful, toothless states, I think I could get behind the "no wars, ever" crowd. The problem is that's not the case. Iran isn't toothless, they aren't peaceful, and they sure as hell aren't non-interventionist - see the Quds Force for further examples.

There's a very real threat of Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon. That could start an arms race in the Middle East between them and Saudi Arabia. You don't want two countries which value martyrdom to be in control of devastating devices like that.
