Get them. Get rid of them all. I don't care what follows, just get rid of them.
I don't care if they were an immediate threat or a down-the-road threat or a never-gonna-happen threat. I don't care if the real reason we whacked them was that they misspelled "Trump."
There were only two ways this was going to go. The mullahs were going to continue to fund as well as actively pursue the killing of Jews, Americans and anyone else on our side. They may or may not have been able to create a nuclear weapon, but they were certainly going to try. That was going to continue until we stopped it, permanently.
Which made the second alternative outcome this.
I think the Pope had the best summary of the argument against whacking the mullahs.
“Peace is no longer sought as a gift and a desirable good in itself, or in the pursuit of the establishment of the ordered universe willed by God, with a more perfect form of justice among men and women.”
There has been no harsher critic to U.S. military action in Iran than Pope Leo XIV:

As usual, the Church is living in a make-believe world. Peace wasn't on the table. It wasn't a choice between peace and war. The Iranian regime was constantly killing someone, whether that was its own people, the Jews, American soldiers or anyone else that got in their way. The idea that what we had a week ago was some form of peace is a fantasy.
So get it done. Get rid of as much as we can and see what happens after that. I'm sure the plans are more detailed than that, but if all they were was "rubble don't make trouble," I'd be happy with it.

" just get rid of them"
And what if he can't? There are 92 million people in Iran, and they are capable of doing a lot of damage. On top of that, Trump just made martyrs out of a bunch of their leadership, and I'm sure the survivors are doing their best to spin this to their population as their equivalent of the Pearl Harbor attack. This could go badly wrong in many ways. Trump is taking an awful chance here. This had better work.
Tim van Winkle, where have you been for the past 5 decades?
