Looks like the war with Iran is cooking off

[Ninurta]

r. Maalouf ‏It’s 1 AM in Iran right now and everyone is out in the streets celebrating.

Iranians deserve a life with freedom. 

what does it say about the Iranian regime
that its people celebrate a foreign attack on the leaders

Remember that chap in Iraq chopping down the statue of Saddam and the celebrations on the streets when they were liberated ?

I hope what followed there isn't repeated in Iran , our history of regime change is littered with failure.

I believe the blunder made in Iraq (other than the initial blunder of starting a war on an unnecessary front to begin with) was sending in "occupation" forces after the initial flush of victory. I think thy would have been in a much better place had they not sent in those occupation forces, but instead left Iraq to the Iraqis and just moved on to more important matters.

Trying to hold ground that is not yours to hold is always a risky business. It builds resentments quickly.
