I'm sure many women and homosexuals are still allowed to leave those countries so bombing them for those kinds of strict policies is not even required even if it were on the table.

I just wish countries like Iran would give those convicted of what amounts to religious misconduct the option of leaving as a penalty instead of the extreme ones they are made to endure. People should have the option of practicing a religion or not.
