that's a false equivalence. I can't imagine any scenario of where saving an American life is predicated upon destroying Persepolis

I do love how upset you are about it. There was a time when I was upset about it as well, but then I saw people like you and how ridiculous you were behaving and now I've made peace with the fact that he'll be president for another term.


The fact that you are comparing a theocracy to merely being upset about a president you don't like personally kind of tells me all I need to know about you.

Civilization is entirely unnatural because it uses collective force to try and repeal the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, along with the Zeroth Law of Human Nature.

But that is collectivism generally...entirely unnatural.

No, I never questioned their value.....do try to keep up, I asked you why they have a right to continued existence.

The fact is that nothing has a right to exist. There are things we'd like to continue existing, but that doesn't equal those things having a right to it.

Nothing.

If Iran values those places, they ought to protect them by making the decision to stop waging proxy wars all across the world using terrorist organizations they fund, equip, and command.

Nothing has an inherent right to exist.....even if you like it.
That's the same logic used to justify taking out the World Trade Centers on 9/11. It was wrong then, and it's wrong now.


And whoever called your post the next level of stupid was being generous. REALLY? What gives a historical site a right to exist? Are you saying that if someone wanted to blow up the Washington Monument, they should be allowed, since the monument has no rights? It is baffling to consider how a mind can get to a point to say such craziness. Honestly. "What gives history a right to exist?" LMAO.... Not funny, more of an uncomfortable laugh as I consider you are mingling in society. EEEK!

I apologize I am just not use to engaging with uncompromising stupidity. This is new for me.

You can find hundreds of examples of Iran's proxies Hamas and Hezbollah hiding rockets and soldiers in schools and hospitals.

SMH of course you see those things as the same.

You see a retaliatory strike by a military as the same as an unprovoked terrorist attack and that says all that needs to be said about you and why you are so upset about the death of a terrorist leader.

Imagine going back in time 5 years and showing people this headline...
Iran kills and maimed Americans through cowardice surprise attacks.. at least President Trump gives Iran warning. Don't kill Americans or we will retaliate.



And the left democrats are worse than Iran. They are ratcheting it up with their hateful propaganda .. this is Communistic actions against our own government. It is not just against Trump, It is against our CIA, Our National Security advisors and our protectors from terrorists. this is how sick the democrats are , sick for power. If anyone gets us into a war , it will be the propaganda spewed out as anti-American hateful sensationalism against Americans defensive actions to protect our fighting men.
