I like how you hedge that with "at the point of writing."
Afraid that tomorrow you might wake up to "this post did not age well?"
If that is your main fear, I don't think you have anything to worry about. i'm not sure that iran can be liberated. Honestly, I don't know if the cult of islam will ever be suitable to a democratic republic type government.
In the first few years of the, i'm a republicrat/MIC endless wars.I used to accuse democrats of being racist for saying that "you can't force democracy on people." But they were the proverbial stopped clock on that one.
