During the Republican debates Iran came up. Of the four candidates,
three of them (including Romney) essentially promised to start a war on
Iran. Only Ron Paul opposed the idea. When he asked the others to at
least say they would follow the Constitution and get a declaration of
war before starting a war with Iran, they literally laughed at the idea.
Of course, Romney and the others deny any intention of starting a war,
but at the same time make the same sort of arguments for preventive war
on Iraq, based on the same sort of exaggerations, distortions, and
outright lies.
