Good good, i share those reservations as a matter of fact. The US fucked up massively in how it dealt with postwar Iraq, the incompetance was absoulutely criminal (Just because i think it was right to remove Saddam Hussein doesnt mean i cant criticise that aspect of the war). I also have problems with the way Israel has conducted itself, although thats a whole other massive discussion.
The key matter for me though is what the Iranians want.
Because of the Iran-Iraq war in the early 80s, where over a million Iranian men died, there is a massive baby boomer population in Iran that was born around the same time as most of us here, and they want the same basic human rights that you and I have
I would prefer you answered the question first if thats ok, seeing as ive spent this whole thread answering questions
