The Islamic Republic of Iran [View all]

Is a loathsome, misogynistic theocracy that is responsible for the death of thousands of people - probably millions. They've been a state sponsor of terrorism since 1979. They were directly and indirectly responsible for hundreds of terrorist attacks. I'd love to see it fall and a western-style democracy rise up, like it was in the 1950's before the CIA ousted it.

That being said, "regime change" needs to come from within. We made a fucking mess out of both Iraq and Afghanistan. This is even worse, because at least we had semi-competent people in charge under Shrub. This is not going to end well.
