Fear is not proof, and suspicion is not a sufficient reason to send America to war.
Hostile regimes exist, and genuine threats must be taken seriously. But before military force is used, the American people deserve evidence, constitutional debate, and a clear explanation of why war is truly unavoidable.
In this installment of “This Matters,” Bill Britt examines the difference between fear and proof, why the burden of justification belongs to our leaders, and how constitutional accountability protects both the nation and those asked to fight.
Because once war begins, the reasons for continuing it often become easier to invent than the reasons for starting it.
