> want so badly for this to pan out for Iranians

Badly? You seem a little obsessed. The few anti-regime Iranians (who live in Iran) I know do not want to get bombed into freedom & democracy. The Western hubris despite Iraq and Afghanistan is back in full force, I see.

I appreciate the time you took to reply to my comment, but life is too short to engage in this style of argument.

If you personally know Iranians (Persian, Azeri, Armenian, Kurds, Assyrian, Arab, Baloch, Tajik, Afghan etc) living in Iran or if you have connection with the land, that's fine. Otherwise, I find this kind of "obsession" a bit disturbing to the point of justifying actions of unhinged leaders in a very avoidable, unpopular, & potentially devastating war: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_savior

> life is too short

Imagine surviving in war zones.

No harm in wishing people well really.

Hell of a way to wish them well by jeopardising their financial, political, social, and religious well-being.

Neither of us were cheerleading the bombing. Just saying we hope things work out.

tim333, I do believe you when you say you weren't. May be I am projecting and was out of sorts. Apologies.
