I would not be that bothered if the Iranian regime, and it's sadistic, cultist military were yeeted off the face of the planet by large American bombs, to be fair.

A regime that exists because we constantly meddled with Iranian affairs for our own gain in the first place.

That's fair.

But maybe we're due a reroll eh?

Again. As someone thst was so against the Iraq war I find this weird.

Saddam wasn't a popular leader hence why the insurrection was largely limited and they didn't have a deep seated hatred for the US.

Irans leadership is more popular and the people that aren't behind the leadership are certainly don't like America.

The only way it works if there's boots on the ground and it'll result in deaths that makes Iraq look insignificant.

Get some good oil tho.

I've said this before - but it seems that everything I say just gets dumpted into a hole. Saddam, whilst a cunt, ran a secular government. Women were allowed to have jobs and weren't horribly mistreated (especially compared to Iran and absolutely Saudi Arabia that we're in bed with). I also objected to the fact that we were obviously being lied to and for oil.

It was a war of aggression, on trumped up charges. Alan Greenspan (the Fed chairman at that point) said it was to America's great shame that they weren't honest about that. And we sucked their dick. And ISIS grew out of that - we made the world demonstratively more safe.

Iran's leadership isn't more popular. It looks like they've killed potentially 25,000 people proving that. And the ones they're popular with are religious Islamic zealots and all that goes with that.

Despite that - I'm not gung ho about it. I'm still not sure it's the right thing to do. That's why I italicised maybe.

But sure as shit right now Iran is a much more horribly oppressive hellhole than Iraq ever was. It's so bad that the only thing worse than it for oppression and thought control is the NEC of the Labour Party.

Saddam had up to 500,000 people killed during his rule but it's okay because he was secular?

What would a war with Iran be classified as if not as a war of aggression?
