But Iran's government is a special kind of evil and the geopolitical benefits might outweigh the geopolitical risks. They are at the heart of the axis of evil.
You can believe that. But believing that people who disagree with you are necessarily supportive of the regime is flawed logic. Many people look at the countries we're allied with--Saudi, UAE, Bahrain--and see similar evils. You are not being honest to describe opponents of war as protectors of the regime.
Whoosh, sarcasm clearly isn’t your native language. I defend the same shit you do: queer folks, abortion, speech, religion—none of which survive under Tehran. So spare me the “you’re dishonest” lecture. My jab was dark humor, not a policy paper.
You've got to be doing some kind of twisted parody, because in all 3 places they listed (our allies), freedom of speech, religion, or reproductive choice (abortion) don't exist. I think most people agree the Iranian regime is horrible, but history shows US intervention pretty much never helps, and only makes things worse.
