Seven Reasons Not To Bomb Iran
Authored by Josiah Lippincott via American Greatness,
By the time this piece publishes, the United States military might already have launched air strikes on Iran. Indeed, planes could be launching while I write this. Nevertheless, here is a list of seven reasons why our government should not intervene in the Middle East.

Dr. Ellen Wald, President of Transversal Consulting, Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council, and author of "Saudi, Inc." joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss.
