I’m not saying it can or can’t be done. We all know of the stories of collateral damage, etc.

What I’m saying is war is not a “cool” thing.
Even when it’s necessary, even when it’s successful, it is a tragic thing.

Just my opinion. Maybe I’m too old fashioned.

Despite the fact that they act to the contrary, I don't think Iran is stupid enough to go to war with the U.S. simply because we eliminated their chance to get nuclear weapons... I would expect brinkmanship and a LOT of international heat, but no war...

The key word there is 'necessary' isn't it? It is a tragic thing that war is ever necessary but in this world it often is. I don't know about 'cool' but it is not tragic when someone has the will and the heart to do what is necessary to eliminate or at least diminish the threats that cause war in the first place.
