I, personally, will shed no tears for the demise of the Iranian regime.

But should Americans die to make that happen? I’m getting 2003 Deja Vu all over again.

No. We should have no involvement other than to support Israel.

Iranians all over the world are rooting for us to get involved. They are tired of living under an evil dictatorship.

This is not even close to true. In fact many prominent Iranian reformers and dissidents are condemning the war, they don't want to see their countrymen attacked or blown apart no matter how polarized the country is. The exact same thing happened in Pakistan during the recent war with India, even though at least half the country identified more with Imran Khan and opposed military dictatorship. It's classic rally around the flag effect and predictable. But if someone couldn't learn from these same lies in 2003, what can I say? Some people want to believe.

From Ash1952- Iranians in the Netherlands march in support of Israel and call for the destruction of the Islamic regime. Not a single woman in hijab or burqa, no one is masked, and no violence. These are real refugees who fled a brutal Islamist dictatorship. Unlike fake refugees, they actually want to go back to their homeland!

And? Is every ill in the world the responsibility of the U.S. to address?

Interventionist regime change does not work, not for long. Regimes must change by the people for the people to be lasting. This is not the first time we have meddled with the Iranian internal politics.

MAGA coalition risks a break up if Trump takes US military on the offensive inside Iran. It will be his ‘no new taxes’ moment.

I remember hearing this same bs about Iraqis.

So you have given in to the big conspiracy too? The Zionists are the grandmasters of all? GTFOOH.

Well said. You sound angry, I am angry and we are not alone. We did not vote for more frivolous wars such as this one. We should stay out of it.

Zaid, you have real talent in your writing abilities! Unfortunately there is way too much opinion and very little factual evidence to support this article. Do you consider your self a journalist or just an opinion writer?
