You have no cause to question my loyalties, asshole. And don't misquote me, either.
You still haven't answered my question: why cultural sites instead of military targets, which would be the appropriate hit if we were going to engage in war.
Why not both? If we are forced to order a large scale strike against the Iranian leadership, it will be more to deliver a scathing message than to weaken its military - remember that while these are acts of war, we are not at war with Iran. The purpose of the attack will be to so humble the Iranian leadership that they will be hesitant to attack Americans again.
Iran is filled with shrines commemorating the Islamic Revolution and especially the capture of the US embassy and the taking of US hostages and of leaders of the present regime, all propaganda pieces intended to inspire loyalty and fear in the population. Why not blow these u? This is not a war in which we have to choose strategic targets to weaken the enemy's ability to fight back; this is a strongly worded message not to attack Americans. Let's blow up all the statues and shrines that seek to glorify the present regime.
