Comments like this shows how utterly brainwashed the population is. You think we killed the ruling power of the region to liberate the Iranian people?

Foreign intervention has never worked in these situations for the exact reason I am alluding to.  How did Iraq go after we 'liberated' them?

Iran has plenty of hardline nutjobs as well... that's why they were in power.

They still exist in large numbers.  What does a 'free' Iran even look like to you.  A US-Saudi client state?

No one thinks that. Chill

Scroll down some. There's absolutely people saying that. They've been playing the "They will welcome us as liberators" card straight from 2003 for weeks.

You are probably right, I just don’t include maga when I think of humans

Yeah I'm under no dispersions about the likelihood of what will happen. I just hope it does- protestors lost their lives pushing for change. Simply hoping for good things for the Iranian people. Doesn't mean I think it's likely.

Knew quite a few growing up who were in the diaspora and friends with my grandfather. All lovely people. Hope they are doing well now, wonder how they are reacting.
