The Iran War is a Disaster for Young People

I wasn’t alive yet for the beginning of the Iraq War. But as I watch the U.S. war on Iran threaten to spiral out of control, I’m starting to see what it might have felt like.

The Iraq War was predicated on a lie, but the Bush administration at least attempted to justify it. If anything, the war in Iran has been even more poorly justified — and lacking any coherent strategy.

And young people especially have a stake in seeing it end as soon as possible.
