"But the Ayatollah was a bad guy!"

Just because citizens of another nation don't like their leader doesn't mean they want the U.S. dropping bombs on them. That would seem to be an obvious point.

And who else are they bombing, while they are at it?

What a convenient opportunity to erase whoever they wish, and never have to take responsibility or explain why.

For all we know, Iran could have significant networks of resistance who are building a whole new revolutionary way of doing things-- and by slamming the place from one oppressive exploitative regime to some other oppressive exploitative regime, the US is only trying to ensure they don't get actual self-determination or freedom.

Stable, secular democracies in the Middle East are just not allowed.
