[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can you speak for the Iranian people? There are 90 million of them. By generalizing your perspective to everyone, you really showed your hand.

As an American, I may dislike Donald Trump but that doesn’t mean I want the White House and Pentagon to get firebombed by a foreign nation as part of a regime change war.

Politics and patriotism are two separate orders of business. A real person wouldn’t want their home country entangled in a war.

Go back to the drawing board and try again[/quote]

+1.

Easy for OP to say when they are sitting comfortably in the U.S.

If the regime is as weak as OP says, then Iranians should topple it themselves. [/quote]

You misunderstand me. The regime is significantly weakened NOW after the events of the last few days, but if the roots are left intact (i.e., the nuclear threat is not eliminated), it will be very, very difficult for the Iranian people to ever amass enough power to oust the it.

Your comparing the Iranian regime to Donald Trump shows me you have no idea what you’re talking about. Regime change is a matter of life or death for the Iranian people. Donald Trump flirts with authoritarianism, to be sure, but if you stand in the middle of Times Square and shout that he’s a criminal, you are not going to be whisked off to a secret prison and tortured. Your family will not be kidnapped or murdered. Whatever our flaws here in the US, and there are many, we still have freedom of speech, press, assembly, religion, etc.

[b]You cannot fathom what the Iranian people face day to day. And if you could, you would understand why the uncertainty of war might seem preferable to the certainty of life under this regime[/b].[/quote]

Iran is a wealthy nation. They have a higher standard of living than most places. Sure, they have  democracy tinged in theocracy but so does Israel.

Free speech, whistleblowing, and truth telling  in Israel comes with a price[/quote]
