In the 1970’s, Iran was a fairly normal country. The U.S. installed a puppet for the oil. They didn’t like that. Then the current theocracy took hold & changed things completely. The people there just might want a democracy. Do you know any Iranians? I do.

Why would ANYBODY with two neurons to rub together think that this is a "win" for the Iranian people?
Seriously?
You think the Iranian people are going to break out a Jeffersonian Democracy?

I think I see your problem: you think Iranians are going to have self-determination after Israel kills the current Iranian leadership.
A Jeffersonian democracy is going to break out? Maybe Netanyahu, riding an Israeli tank through the streets of Tehran, will be greeted as a liberator?
No. Don’t you know? Israel LOATHES people having self determination.
There’s going to be massive domestic and foreign fighting - all after Iran’s natural resources and control of the Straight of Hormuz.
Geeez. Seriously? You’re bonkers. And kind of an ass. My thought was never say never.
I'm so old, I remember the phrase "Democracy in a box".
Anyone else remember that?
