If it leads to war, the US will be entirely morally responsible for the war. It behooves patriotic Americans to stop our country from doing a great wrong; that means campaigning not to start a war, campaigning to cease and desist from war if it does start, and rejecting the reasoning that pretends to excuse said war.
