On a recent conference call about US threats to Iran, a participant asked if we didn't think, this time around, there are more people in the U.S. opposed to another war.

The Republican primary debaters are mostly screaming for it; and the White House says "no options are off the table" while it has put punishingly hard sanctions in place.
