Even those who want a regime change tend to dislike getting bombs on their heads.

Not on their heads. On the weapons and heads of the regime. The regime is not the Iranian people.

Israel is bombing cities too[1], and the neighbors of the people who might be associated with the regime are just like you and me.

And so on. Once bombs start falling, it’s a silly idea that there’s no innocent casualty and that people won’t fear for their life regardless of their status when they hear bombs falling in the neighbourhood.

If this goes to war, it will be their heads. We cannot be so naive to assume the US does not want civilian bloodshed. We love that, that's, like, our favorite thing about war.

This is why US war-mongering is bad and we need to stop doing it. The US is absolutely ruthless. After all, we're the only country that has actually used nukes - and we did it on civilians.
