General Discussion

If my friend gets drunk, punches a hole in a wall out of frustration, and says he was trying to get his girlfriend back, I'm not going to credit the motive when evaluating his actions. We (the U.S., I'm an American ex-pat) are doing things in Iran that will deter regime change, not help it. The level of stupidity of our government is stunning. We tried the same damn thing a few months ago and failed to replace the Chavez-Maduro government. People don't rise up once a foreign government starts dropping bombs on them. It's an uphill battle, but the war has made it impossible to imagine at this point.
