NOBODY wants war....EVERYONE, not just you....believe it or not knows the expense in men and money, but it does not seem our President is able to even speak with a commanding tone let alone do anything thus we have ourselves a small problem.
I do not advocate war in anyway, but the world situation is terrible and I look for leadership and do not see it anywhere.

Again, I'm not defending Obama. But if you start with the proposition that we have no intention of going to war with Iran, then what kind of "leadership" do you expect from the POTUS?
He's said repeatedly that a nuclear Iran is unacceptable, that Israel is a friend and always will be. He's directed our State Department to continue negotiating with Iran. He's lead a coalition of western countries to apply economic sanctions against Iran. He has been unsuccessful in getting either Russia or China to cooperate, but after all they both rely heavily on Iran for oil, unlike the U.S.
So short of throwing down the gauntlet of threatening military action--a threat which cannot be a hollow one--what leadership would you propose from him?
