No, I don't see why that would be something for the military.

Humanitarian work is nice but we can't afford it in times like this.

Could we afford to bomb bomb bomb Iran?

Yes, when it is right to do so, and no, when it is not.

^^^

I'd like it to be done under an international commandment and mandatory though, for USA or anybody.

I've said it before, but I'm not comfortable with putting our troops under "international command". Especially frightening is a situation in which such international participation would be "mandatory".

If that ever happened, I would likely advocate that no humanitarian help be contributed.
