@LeopoldBloom Have I already mentioned in other replies. No-one really has been thinking of the actual people living in Iran. Neither do they actually know anyone from there. Of course, one can't have the argument both ends either. I like the people from Iran but they're not going to sacrifize their families for a regime change. Yet again, the question is by whom you'd replace this well-established regime who's actually at its extremes a death cult. Moreover, I don't think that after this bombing the Americans or the Israelis are coming up trumps either. My guess is that the regime will wait it out and seek outside support whilst its people are trying to cope with the whole bombing situation which they didn't had to experience since the eighties

@val70 The only question is whether 70% or 90% of Iranians are opposed to the regime. But there's no organized opposition.

@LeopoldBloom There you go

@hippyjoe1955 and this is where you go wrong again. I don’t pardon anything. I’m simply saying that conflict is part of the human psyche and therefore it will be present and enactment of it will go on just as naturally as the world goes round the sun…
I’m a realist. It doesn’t mean I approve of such acts. It simply means that I understand why they exist in the first place. Perhaps this is simple enough for even you to grasp. Perhaps not. I don’t really care. You’ve got your head in the sand and only you can pull it out…

@RunTheJulz Then what was the point of your post? You were excusing war.

@val70 "Greater Israel" is the new blood libel promoted by antisemites. Israel has a population of around 10 million, 20% of which aren't even Jewish. They don't have enough people to occupy "Greater Israel," even if they wanted to. Stop repeating old Soviet propaganda that the Iranian regime is pushing.

If you're concerned about one group taking over where other people live, your friends in Hamas are definitely after Greater Palestine.

And understood, you think "ethnic cleansing" is worse than "genocide." Just admit that you don't want any Palestinians in your country.

@LeopoldBloom greater from the Atlantic Ocean to India, uber alles - no thinking things that do not support USA! You go do whatever, believing you really know greater Israel. Like shooting in the dark, I'm okay with that for ya!!;

@LeopoldBloom You need to inform yourself. Watch some Israeli Channel 14

@KingofBones1 sadly you are correct. Mutually assured destruction means nothing to extreme fanatics.

@3Dogmatic exactly it does not because they are Martyrs in their eyes if the world Burns

@MayorOfCrushtown But wars offer so many benefits and opportunities. When have you ever seen the US military sit back and not get involved in a conflict. Facts are facts this is just how the decks are stacked…
