War is popular for only a short period of time

President Obama is doing a 'surge' in Afghanistan. I suppose if he were desperate enough, he might start trouble with Iran. It is easy enough to draw up an excuse. Somehow, I don't think so. I think that he will avoid confrontation until it hits us all in the face. If President Obama does attack Iran, he will not do it well. I believe that his understanding of warfare is compromised by what I believe is his desire to avoid war at all costs.
