Trump already droned two of these terrorist animals. He set a precedent.

I'm having a hard time disagreeing with her. From everything I have heard, especially from friends who did missions work in Iran, it's not the people. It's the leadership.

I never like to see the destruction war causes when the ordinary people would just as soon be left alone and live their lives in quiet and safety.

And yet, it's usually the leaders who stir things up and make the decision, and the average Joe is the one who pays the price.

Targeting the leadership, like Trump did with Soleimani is the best option for protecting civilians and yet dealing with the leadership.

Once assassination is official government policy there is no basis to complain when others assassinate our leaders.

I do not want Kamala to be the President.

I think there was a time that your approach would have already been executed and desired change occurring as we speak. Unfortunatley Iran is now flush with cash and has aligned with so many proxy “resistance” groups, the approach would end in chaos. We'd be looking at potential retaliation from Iran proper, definite proxy attacks from their “Axis of Reistance,” including Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis resulting in a greater U.S. presence in the area. Potential nuclear proliferation as Tehran restarts/accelerates their nuclear efforts (if they ever slowed), and distracts our attention from Ukraine, China, Taiwan..etc. Average Iranians are notoriously committed to their political and military leaders (keeping your head 101) and will support them through all of these potential outcomes.
