The Cato Institute authored a viral Facebook post which received 117 likes and 55 shares: "Even before the P5 +1 negotiations with Iran regarding its nuclear program reach a conclusion, hawks in the United States are beating their war drums....The hawkish case is the eerie similarity of their arguments to those made fifty years ago regarding Communist China’s nuclear program.... Fortunately, cooler heads...prevailed...and the United States never launched a preemptive war. Relations with Beijing today would likely be far different—and vastly more hostile—if the hawks of that earlier era had won the debate."
