Iran, the general and flight PS752

Iran:
There are better ways to help the people of a foreign country than trying to find enemies among its leaders.

The general:
Sure he was a bad guy and it's probably a good idea to have him gone but are we sure his replacement won't be worse?
Ill-timed for sure.

Flight PS752:
It's frankly a bad idea to fly commercial in/out of a country launching missiles. This error was predictable.
Iranian leadership is to blame here.
trump and his circle of haters probably knew this event was possible maybe even probable and did nothing. If you're looking for another new incident to blame on 45, pick this one. There should have been a loud and repeated announcement about this type of danger but 45 just doesn't care about anything outside of his agenda.
