The "southern aggression" (Lincoln had left union troops on Ft Sumter purposely to taunt the Confederates) used to "justify" the Civil War. I could go on and on... It's what they do.
My best advice? Turn off the TV and don't read/watch ANY "news". You'll be better "informed" without the propaganda.

Your "knowledge" of history is noted.
I would be curious how you stay "informed" ?? No TV, maybe, but that plus no reading is a bit scary. Hoping TOTV is not your news source
Another historical pint to consider....most historians agree that the USA delay in entering WWII almost gave the world to the Nazi's..cost us a lot of lives as it extended that war for years.
This is not to say I support any kind of war, but in addition to our President drawing a line at killing by using chemicals, how does one allow the mass murders of women and children to continue with our tacit approval. You have a greater trust in the "leaders" of the Mid East.
As I said, I do not trust these people to do the "right thing" (whatever that is, it is NOT gassing innocent people), and I pray our POTUS does the right thing before it visits our shores.
