Former President Bill Clinton: 

“Mr. Netanyahu has long wanted to fight Iran, because that way he can stay in office forever and ever….”

“But I think we should be trying to diffuse it  and I hope President Trump will do that. I hope anybody there will do that...we gotta convince our friends in the Middle East that we'll stand with them and try to protect them. 

But choosing undeclared wars in which the primary victims are civilians who are not politically involved one way or the other, just wanna live decent lives is not a very good solution. 

Do I think that we have to try to stop Iran from having a nuclear weapon? I do. I tried at that and we had some success. But we don't have to have all this outright, constant killing of civilians who can't defend themselves and they just want a chance to live.”
