I agree with you. Their are absolutely risks.
And I hate fiscal waste. Missiles are expensive and I want less spending.
When I was in the Middle East a decade ago, a man told me that they were praying the US would save them. I frankly don’t remember who we were talking about. And it may have been longer ago than a decade. But it was an Iranian or maybe Yemen.
There are a bunch of country’s where the people are in hell. They can’t speak out and they can fight back. Or they are killed. In Iran woman are executed. Prior it can be ordered that they be raped so that Allah will not allow them into paradise. And despite our current country situation, they see the US as a great saving hope. That we can swing in and save them like they’ve seen us do for other countries.
I don’t care about the Iranian government, but the people are living a horrible situation. There can’t be change from within because the government is too strong versus the people.
The strike happened so I hope that it results in change. I’m also fearful that if Iran ever got a nuclear weapon, they would use. If for nothing else but to appease allah.
