The problem with war is that while there can be a side than can deemed to be the aggressor; it's really the same as two street gangs clashing over territory. The unfortunate part is innocent people get hurt in the midst of these clashes. The regime in Iran just early this year was killing its own citizens who were protesting against it not to mention all the atrocities they have done over the years.

The US and Israel have been behind a lot of the messy wars in the Middle East, and have thus slaughtered thousands of people for years. You can choose to salute and support whichever flag suits you best, but what war demonstrates every single time is that the state is not your friend. War is a racket.
