Very disturbing that the lefies here are so pro Iranian regime and angry at Trump for taking out the guy whose been killing Iranian democracy protesters for years.


They are lying that our enemy is America, our enemy is right here," a group of protesters outside a university in Tehran chanted, according to video clips posted on Twitter.

Not to mention the support shown to Wahhabism.

But don;t tell Gordy that. One good towel head is as good as another.

Oh no, Gordon knows the difference between a towel-head and a Persian.

But yes, it's all in the interests of the Saudis and weapons sales.

[quote author=Karnal link=1578864120/3#3 date=1578865130]Iran could become the next Silicon Valley. A young, well-educated population. Oil. A big consumer base.

Instead, the state is forced to focus its energy on survival and defence. All the Iranian people get out of it is cheap petrol.

You're a pro regime stooge. Disgusting.

But you have to look at the honest truth.  Look at what good did topple Iraq and destabilize Syria did?  We had rise of Islamic state.  And this is going to be same with Iran.  There will always be another villain take over the previous, one more radical than the other.   You and Gordon are day dreaming thinking this assassination is going to end anything.

By now, you should realize that even within Shia and Sunni groups, there are different sub groups. For example, the current president of Iran (relatively more moderate) is in a different faction to the person killed  (a hardline).   Such is the nature of human kind. 

I have mentioned before, if you look close into the conflicts, you will realize that its pretty much power struggle between humans for control of land, resources and manpower.  Religion is just an excuse, a moral booster, a ruling tool for those with power.

No one here is pro Iranian regime, just as there are no 'pro' Saudi, and 'pro' Islamic state here.  The fact is that the situation in the Middle East is perhaps centuries in the making.  And we are merely pointing out that assassinating someone is not going to make any difference at best, and probably would make things worse.   And we can make that statement by looking at what happened in the history.  And trust me, there is no shortage of assassinations, political coups, killings.  History just repeats again and again and again.  And you know what, at the end, its the small ordinary people that suffers.   We are just lucky we are born where we are. 

Remember Gordon, this is not some cowboy hollywood movie senario, where a hero charges in, kill the villain, and all of sudden everyone is going to live in eternal blissful happiness. 

Well, there's a surprise - year after year of hating on The Great Shaitan, and now they've found the balls to get angry?

If they hadn't embarked upon their personal war of national inferiority complex and done over the US embassy.... they wouldn't be having half the problems they are now.. if they'd changed their ways a little and stopped attacking foreign national ships etc instead of playing at jihad, they wouldn't be suffering the sanctions they are now... and their kids are dying as a result..

Trump will be laughing his head off to hear that Iran is angry with him personally.... maybe their general should have been told not to organise attacks in Iraq, but he can sort that out with Allah... no problems...
