[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]honest question for the OP - if the Iranian regime is somehow overthrown or dislodged as part of this action, what type of government do you envision taking its place? [/quote]

My hope is for free elections/democracy and beyond that I don’t think anyone can say. Maybe it will be much better, maybe only slightly better. But it certainly can’t be worse. I genuinely don’t see how it could get worse unless something like the Taliban takes over, and I just don’t see that happening for a variety of reasons (pretty much zero Iranians want that and there is really no precedent for it in Iran).

No precedent? No precedent?

What do you call the past 45 years???[/quote]

Certainly there is precedent for Islamism/theocracy. What I meant was that there is no precedent for a Taliban-style government. There is a lot of daylight between the current Iranian regime (as terrible as they are) and the Taliban.[/quote]

The Taliban started as an American proxy that turned against us. The Islamic republic of Iran also started  as an American proxy that turned against us. There is definitely precedent here for another Taliban if not worse.

We will  have a new proxy in town to take out the old proxy in Iran and 20 years from now when they scream hell with Israel or USA because they also “never forget”, we will have to take out that proxy with a new proxy. Proxy proxy proxy [/quote]

+1. Maybe we should stop interfering in other countries affairs, creating factions within them for our own selfish reasons and then abandoning these very countries. Let’s focus on fixing our own plethora of domestic problems. [/quote]
