Power changes people. Presidents almost always try their hand at war. Nothing enhances a person’s sense of power more than initiating and prevailing in a military adventure. To a president, the opportunity is all but irresistible. Don’t look for Obama to do anything else in Iraq or Iran. Those are another president’s adventure. Obama has just a little less than 4 years to start his own war. Historical precedent indicates that an Obama military adventure is somewhere in the offing.

Let us hope that the war of his starting is not one on Us soil against US citizens.
