alt Hacker NewsDo you believe and call on the United States to bomb Iran. Which is the only real offer on the table.
This created absolute hell in Syria, Libya and other nations. Democracy was certainly not delivered.
Are you calling for the US to bomb Iran? Or are you against that?

Iran is nothing like Syria or Libya.
Syria was an absolute hell under Assad for dissidents, can't blame America for that. Iraq and Libya maybe, though Saddam and Gaddafi weren't exactly great leaders to their people either.
Anyway, IMO the thing about Iran is that it's mostly Shia, and the population isn't that religious, especially not in cities. Unlike Syria, Iraq and Libya of the past, they aren't ruled by a secular dictatorship, but religious extremists. So, while US intervention in Iraq, Libya and so on created space for religious extremists to rise, I think getting rid of Iranian government could actually do the opposite - give a chance for secular opposition to rise.
