From last summer after the passage of the Comprehensive Iran sanctions or CISADA: Rep. Ron Paul argues that this measure is more or less a declaration of war on Iran, and that therefore we are effectively on a war footing with Tehran already. He also suggests that we do not need more than 700 bases around the world and are generally over-stretched financially and militarily, and in no position to declare new wars.

Meanwhile, Stephen Kinzer argues that the US should heed India’s good advice on how to deal with Iran.
