Not a Good Reason

British sailors are being held by Iran.

It wasn't in retaliation for the U.N. sanctions, because the sailors were captured before the vote was cast. In fact, for a day or two the story barely registered on the national news.

Either the sailors were in Iranian waters, or they weren't. Someone is lying. It's all a matter of who you trust.

World War I began with assassination of a monarch. There didn't have to be a war, but students are taught that "entangling alliances" drew a number of countries into the local conflict, creating havoc.

Has our Archduke Ferdinand moment arrived?
