It's about damn time. 46 years of eating shit is long enough. Hell, that's a lifetime for more than half of the US population. Most folks alive today can't recall a time when they weren't under an Iranian thumb. And there's no damn reason for it other than our own acquiescence.
I mean seriously, a little piss-ant backwards country like that, run by goat-fuckers in black robes with dish towels wrapped around their heads to hide their baldness, holding a planet hostage? A weak-ass country keeping the rest of the world scratching their asses and scrambling for a seat at a negotiation table for negotiations that the Iranians never intended to honor anyhow? Keeping folks talking while they were being gaslighted, claiming "we don't want nukes, honest!" while all the while enriching uranium to nuke levels, then claiming that they weren't going to use it? Why enrich it, then? Did they just need something to fill out an awkward space on a bookshelf?
Seriously?
It's about damn time that someone stood up on their hind legs like a man and said "NO MORE!"
