This is the right response.
"UDPATE: President Donald Trump says the killing of Gen. Qassem Soleimani was not undertaken in an effort to begin a conflict with Iran.
Speaking to reporters in Florida for the first time since the drone strike on Soleimani, Trump says: “We took action last night to stop a war. We did not take action to start a war.”
Trump also says he does not seek regime change in Iran, but the nation’s use of “proxy fighters to destabilize its neighbors must end and it must end now.”
Trump adds that targets of possible retaliation have been identified “and I am ready and prepared to take whatever action is necessary.”

I hear you. Lindsey Graham and the War Party hawks want that. Trump at his word says this is for the acts they committed, not to goad a war. I think that's fair. Drone strikes and Tomahawks and hell raising are fair in my mind, but not full war.
Now, if Trump pulls a wag the dog, bad, bad news for his voting coalition, yes.
Yea--there are some---cough---cough--bolton.... graham,mccain^^^^^
luckily at least one has no voice in this.
I do not believe that our country has the stomach for a war with Iran..........unless they attack us in a major way. These precision strikes are morally palatable for most so long as a reasonable explanation is given and the US response is measured response that kills bad guys, not a bunch of civilians.
Sounds like several other high ranking iranians are being taken out as we speak, one in Yemen, another North of Baghdad.
Just letting them know we've got eyes in the skies all over the place. Every time these guys use their phones or get in a car we've got a little red dot on 'em.
Probably been that way for a while...they just took it too far. Obviously, poking Trump with a stick is not a good idea.
Indeed...political realism vs. political idealism. Trump is a realist...that's why I like him so much. He's not one of them...he's not like all these other men have been.
The problem with idealism is that it's too easily exploited.
