Why am I responding? I'm a sadist.
If Canada crossed the northern border last night (lead by Troll King, Master of All Devious Notions) and abducted a couple dozen of sleepy National Guard members, wouldn't you be taking it very seriously? I'm not saying that everyone should get crazy and start lobbing ordinance back and forth, but you'd agree that it's not a cool thing to do, right? In that sense, yes, they are trying to goad the US into military action, because that seems to be our only real response these days.
Thankfully, nothing has come of it so far.
Huh? How does that make any difference? Look, using nukes is bad--I agree with you. But it's not like the US has been dropping atomic bombs every four months, like you make it sound. It was a terrible thing that two were used, but in retrospect it probably saved more lives than it cost. If you want to play the "America has actually USED nukes" game, you better be able to justify additional millions of deaths during WW2.
That's the point, though. They DON'T have one yet--they want them to NOT have one. I'm not for a military intervention in Iran. I think at this point that diplomacy would at least be a good place to start. However, I think your views are a little misinformed and a little misplaced.
It's unfortunate, but I'd rather live in a society where everyone's voices can be heard. Once you start drawing lines of "who's clever enough to vote," you'll find yourself on a slippery slope.
Thanks for the advice, I'll pass it along to the president. This is all news to us.
