> Iran could have been contained and Obama was right on his approach.

So you don't care about people forced to live under IRGC rule and their desire to export their Islamic ideals elsewhere?

[hackpelican]

Do you really believe this “altruistic” angle?

[HappyPanacea]

Yes, I don't want to live under Islamic rule.

[dragonwriter]

I might be convinced that the Administration was concerned about people being forced to live under Islamic rule if it was as eager for war with Saudi Arabia as it is with Iran.

(I wouldn't support it any more in that case, but I would be more inclined to believe that its motivation might actually have anything to do with "Islamic rule".)

Many people want to though, and no one is forcing you to.

[colordrops]

Where do you live where Islamic rule is a worry?

[za3faran]

Note how they won't answer. They're affected by media FUD.

[colordrops]

No. There are dozens of countries with despotic regimes, including Israel. And I also have no interest in zionist or any religious ideals exported either. If this were justification we would also be bombing Israel, which has committed far worse crimes than Iran.
