I think your point was to suggest that they are evil men who kill teenagers for words, not that they execute murderers for their crimes. Was every person convicted of murder in the US guilty? Did they strike the killing blow? What kind of standard is this. You're doing the good guy/bad guy meme.

> If the people of Iran

There is no "people of Iran" there are demographic groups, and the demographic that is pro-democracy, pro-west, anti-religious-extremism, you'll never guess where they live...

They live in the cities, so they're the ones who have just gotten bombed by the US and Israel. So what are they doing now? Maybe they're re-considering their political opinions, but they're definitely considering where they're getting food and clean water.

And the ones who ARE religious extremists dead set on jihad to the last man? Guess where they live... Yup, mountains. They're preppers.

It's exactly like what would happen if China started bombing the US, there's nothing you can bomb that will NOT shift demographics and popular opinion against your goals.

I feel like pretty much everybody understands that pruning America's top 10 biggest cities and decapitating the government would MULTIPLY America's fighting ability - but people get lost in the weeds when they think about what it will do to Iran...
