“It is very clear that we are not the good guys, but are treating other nations that do not bend to our will as though they were disobedient children,” said James Henry Fetzer, a retired professor of philosophy at the University of Minnesota.
 
“Tulsi has served in Iraq; she knows what she’s talking about,” Fetzer said.
 
“Tulsi wants to get the US out of Afghanistan; she wants to end the [US] wars in the Middle East; [President] Donald Trump would be well-advised to listen to her,”  Fetzer added.
 
Gabbard has warned that a war with Iran would be "far more devastating" for America than the Iraq War ever was.
 
In an interview with the CBS News on Saturday, Gabbard blasted US President Donald Trump for withdrawing the country from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and warned that the Republican US leader is "pushing us closer and closer to war” with the Islamic Republic.
 
Gabbard has held these anti-interventionist foreign policy positions, which are central to her campaign, over her four terms in Congress.
 
Gabbard served in a field medical unit of the Hawaii Army National Guard in a combat zone in Iraq from 2004 to 2005. She has been the US Representative for Hawaii's 2nd congressional district since 2013.
 
During the first Democratic presidential primary debate last month in Miami, Florida, Gabbard warned that Trump and his hawkish advisers were leading the United States towards a "disastrous" war with Iran.
 
"This president and his chickenhawk cabinet have led us to the brink of war with Iran," she said.
 
Gabbard said it's important that "every single American stand up and say no war with Iran."
