Reply #162: From what I've seen, NOBODY in the liberal wing of the party or on the left is pro-Ahmadinejad

(Even if he wasn't a bigoted asshole, the fact that it take a week to spell his last name would turn us against him).

But c'mon, Donald, it goes without saying that nobody US bombs could put into place would be an improvement.

Every government Iran will ever have will be reactionary, militarist, and anti-Israel. None of them will be worth using force to impose or defend. That's the issue.

Not that Stubble Boy is good, but that there's no alternative there that would be an improvement.

And clearly no reason to drop the bombs.

Can you seriously quarrel with the above assessment?

A bombing campaign in Iran would inevitably lead to a drawn-out ground war that would never end(like Iran and Afghanistan). It would inevitably end up with Iraqi-style tribal factions killing each other rather than try to form a democratic society or even a stable dictatorship.

Nothing good can come from bombing the place. That's all we're saying. I assume you'd agree.
