We'd settle for a drone strike or public hanging, as well...

We're in that horrible no-man's land where even if we go winless, I don't think it's going to help us.

The people who talk about lizard alien conspiracies are the same people who would claim that proof of previous life on Mars was an anti-Christian hoax.

Stop reposting stupid shit about the topedoed Iranian frigate.
-It was NOT unarmed.
-It was NOT carrying civilians.
-NO submarine picks up survivors, except in movies.
Fight the fascist #Trump #Magat agenda with FACTS, not fairy tales.
There is too much at stake to start acting like the opposition.

I mean, if you want to ensure the next government isn't just a recycling of the old one, it's at least a logical move.
But The question remains, what are they actually DOING to help more moderate influences take over?

When you're >50 and it's garbage day:
- Wake up, shower and dress, feed the cat
- Head out to work
- Turn around halfway there and come back home
- Put out the bins

I truly hope you're right, but history tells us that the people deciding who takes over in any free and fair way is unlikely to happen.

Pakistan and Afghanistan

We interrupt this conflict already in progress to let you know that Pakistan declared war on Afghanistan last night. We now return you to your regularly scheduled Mid-East carnage.

So who fills the power vacuum?
Creating an organized opposition first would mean this operation actually has a chance of making a difference in the region. Instead, you are left with no guarantee that the next people in charge won't be equally as radicalized, and therefore no safer for the world.

The fact that they are concentrating on bombing government buildings instead of wiping out the Iranian Navy first and foremost proves that the United States and Israel are strategically retarded.

The world is better off for having him dead, but that doesn't mean there is any viable entity in Iran ready to govern without turning the place into the next Syria or Sudan. Regime change only works when you have an organized, popular opposition that's able to take over. That's not the case here.

... Being attacked by two other epic terrorist regimes. The US and Israeli governments are no better than Iran, Russia, or China.

The US and Israeli governments are unlikely to say that he is dead, unless they're pretty damned sure. The embarrassment would be very politically awkward.
So, it's one down, two to go!

If this is true, it points to an EPIC failure of Iranian intelligence, defense, and basic security protocols.
Having your government decapitated in the first 5 minutes of a conflict is hardly indicative of a nation that's an "Existential threat" to the region.
