(10,745 posts)If you want my opinion on any involvement by the U.S., at this point, I'd rather we stay put.
And frankly, I think backing off might actually really increase the chance of the overthrow of these reactionary monsters, and frankly, this is my most favored approach; let the ordinary Iranian people know that America really doesn't hate them, and would like to see their lot in life approve. Although keeping the more extreme Israeli warhawks from going full-on psycho might be a challenge for Washington or Tel Aviv, it would be more than worth it. Not only would America's standing in the world improve, and perhaps Israel's too, but the Iranian people will wake up that much faster to reality, and hopefully be able to install a truly democratic government without the meddling from the extreme-right warhawks amongst our military, and others'.
