It’s politically dangerous; only the youngest Americans haven’t seen up close how an unpopular Middle Eastern war can drag down a presidency.
And it’s physically dangerous. Six American servicemembers have already been killed in Iranian strikes — more than the four Americans who were killed in the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya. Republicans got political mileage out of those deaths for years, making the Benghazi killings synonymous with Hillary Clinton’s supposed unfitness for any sort of office.
But it appears Democrats haven’t learned those lessons, as they still dismiss as uncouth and morally unappetizing that using tragedy to score points against your opponents is part of politics. And so they may be caught out again.
The reality is President Trump started the war unilaterally, without making the case to Congress or the American public. He did not attempt to obtain congressional approval and would likely veto any constraints the legislature passes. He has already said publicly to expectBut Republicans are already laying the groundwork to blame Democrats, should the (politically) worst occur: retaliatory violence on U.S. soil.
