I mean, we have no current plans to invade their country, decapitate their government, and occupy their land whilst plundering their resources. And where would they get such an idea anyway? This is just so provacative, that the free countries of the world should consider invading Iran, removing their government and occupying their country. Of course, to pay for it all, we should probably prepare to appropriate any natural resources they might have. Does Iran have anything we might want?
