β€œEvery gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”

Democratic opponents of the Iran attacks are not advocating for war crimes or
boasting about how little they care about the rules of war. But even they tend to avoid discussing the effects of US assaults on the people being assaulted.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's statement after the first strikes, for example, urged Trump to provide a clear rationale for the war and insisted that β€œthe American people do not want another endless and costly war in the Middle East when there are so many problems at home.” Which is certainly true. But there is nothing in the statement about the Iranian people, who will suffer the most from American bombs.
