Philip Gordon, who was a national security adviser to the former US vice-president Kamala Harris, argued in 2015 that there was something fundamentally wrong about the US concept of regime change.

He wrote: “When implying the US can fix Middle Eastern problems if only it ‘gets it right’, it is worth considering that in Iraq the US intervened and occupied and the result was a costly disaster. In Libya the US intervened and did not occupy and the result was a costly disaster. In Syria the US neither intervened nor occupied and the result was a costly disaster”. Indeed, he wrote a whole book citing examples of how the US fails to anticipate the chaos that inevitably ensues after regime collapse. War can end a regime, but not install a cohesive society.

A Long Read in the Guardian this morning goes into the many reasons why the attack on Iran is a terrible plan.

And the IDF terrorists don't dispute the deaths figures...

You disputed the numbers, but now change your tune...

As all good genocide/ethnic cleansing supporters tend to do :rolleyes:
 
"Nobody likes war - it’s terrifying," one woman in Tehran tells BBC Persian.

"But those two months were so horrible that people just couldn’t take it anymore," she says, referring to the government's violent shutdown of protests earlier this year.

People would "rather die in bombing than in the Islamic Republic’s prisons, where there’s torture and sexual violence," she says.

"Maybe it’s hard to understand for people who aren’t here," she adds.
