The trouble now is - we broke it we own it.
Let's for a moment (for those =of us who aren't tribal savages, way worse than Maga who can actually form an opinion without 'Trump!'!!!!...those people are on the committee to re-elect Trump and they did their work, lol)
Iran was one of the few places in the "Religion of Peace" region where John Q Public didn't hate America.
And Golly Gee, what a coincidence we've pretty much left them the hell alone for decades.....imagine that. There was little way to blame America for their Religion of Peace -style-lifestyle and existence.
Now---it's the USA.
So, yes, I actually believe that a small plurality or even a tiny majority is so glad to see the regime get a pounding but there's some problems:
1.)They aren't Americans (from when america existed--I mean the old America, not this shithole). That spirit -- to go take freedom---- may not be there.
2.)They are - understandably terrified. They aren't worried about being fined. They dont want to become a bird like Gay Iranians and get tossed off buildings. (Yes, it happens to gays there.... here's to Woke Kids who love the Religion of Peace...go, enjoy it)
3.)AMERICA has shown to be a few things. 1.)Culturally Stupid. In the end, a cunning person from the Religion of Peace puts on a suit and tie. Wows American Senators with talks of "human rights" "women's rights", sucks off the oil companies and the Israelis---and gets to proceed to beat the shit of the population.
Barring that, America is known for egging on revolutions---and then we leave the people out to dry. Shiite "uprising" against Saddam ring a bell? Have Kurds gotten a country whipping or two this century? When the kid was gonna get run over by Chinese Tanks, did BOTH American parties proceed with huge free trade deals, PNTR, WTO ? Yep.
There's only ONE language the West understands.
If nations we deem 'rogue'--- have operational nuclear weapons, we will kiss the ruler's asses and even throw in some eye contact and oooh's and aaaaaah's.
So at this point I sort of don't blame Iran's populace for not doing more and frankly, like most things we do lately ---we have got no plan or strategy. We're doing it by seat of pants, by tweet, and my cable news updates.
But then again - that is the quality of fogvernance that tribalistic people of primitive civilizations get. And today --in this moment - that's Iranians and Americans. Both tribalistic societies who need to be brought into 1st world governance.
But it's hard solving ancient tribal issues as those things are deeply held to a point where we don't really understand.
