    There is no nuance in killing a terrorist.

    I think your opinion is one you should have kept to yourself.

    No one is discussing threats? The issue is outcomes and consequences of actions

    The consequences of Trump’s actions is the destruction of the Iranian theocracy. The consequences of the Obama actions is support of the Iranian theocracy.

    Why would the US need permission to carry it out on a country we invaded?

    Speechless as expected. Progressives flummoxed by the truth again. BTW Obama financed Iranian terrorism. Trump is defunding Iranian terrorism.

    He is in the process of destroying the terroristic Iranian theocracy. Obama enabled the terrorism of the Iranian theocracy.

    Honestly, I think I see this latest "Iran" thing blowing-over pretty fast. The Iranians will be raising hell and "waving their scimitars at the sun and the moon" for a few weeks, but they won't DARE to do anything that's too provocative. We will resume our focus on our own political civil war very soon, and the Russians and Chinese will convince the Iranians to simmer down.... Shouldn't be any long-term, earth-shaking fuel price increases, at least not until late May (as usual).

    The Libertarian part of me (which is large) warned as strongly as I could to everyone I knew against invading Iraq in 2003! I had 'connections' in Germany that knew more information than was common revealed (although there was NO breach of any classified information), and they told me flatly that all that nonsense about Saddam Hussein and nuclear weapons was completely groundless -- a total fabrication! Well... you see how effective a nobody like I was in stopping the quagmire that followed.... :lol: And, BTW, we should have been OUT of Afghanistan by no later than 2010, too.

    If I ruled the world, it would not necessarily be a better place, LoneStar, but it would sure as hell be a different one.... :cowboy:

    I have absolutely no idea what any of that meant....as I said the fact that this guy is splattered 5 ways from Sunday ain't no biggy for me...in case I didn't make that clear earlier? Again to catch you up...the Iranians will feel obliged to retaliate and they will do so, presumably, asymmetrically and that will involve innocents losing their lives and the world economy taking a wee hit.....so.....
    Question... How do you think this will play out?

    Sad, too, when Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11.
    Well, maybe--we made a mess in their country and have some obligation to right any wrongs we've done.

    Do your homework. Blockades of Germany’s ports and naval bases lead to regime change in Nazi Germany.

    Would be good for those working in shipyard and for us Canadian and American who don't depend on ME oil and who have plenty to sell to those affected.
    There's always a silver lining..

    Just wait until they retaliate. They will. It will not be pretty. Then what will you do? Bomb them? Really? This was an act of war. Iran will respond and no American abroad is safe now. If I lived in a Trump Tower, I would sell tomorrow.
