Withing the last hour, there was a meeting of Iran's leading candidates for the new Supreme Leader.

Oh my. This was just announced on Fox so there is no link as yet. A group of Iran's leading candidates for Supreme Leader was just obliterated by a targeted strike. You would think that they might have learned the lesson from the last such meeting.

This sounds like the old fairy tale of the hydra, except the Knight in this case just keeps whacking off the heads as they grow back.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

It's on Fox. Somebody has some really good Intel

 

[kyzr]

I wouldn't want the short straw.

Or...you would think the West would have learned their lesson by now. There is no glorious democratic change coming to Iran. There will be supreme leader successors from now until the cows come home. They are a theocratic republic.

Cut off one head, two more shall take its place.

How long will he last in that job

Correction -- You WANT them to be a theocracy.

The people of Iran we quite liberal before the Mullahs took over. You despise liberalism, though, so condemn them to their fate.

Leftists admire how Iran keeps it's citizens in check.

That's their goal here

They forget the Eastern Europeans when released from Communism almost all went to representative republics.

For Iran, I think a Constitutional Monarchy would be a better model, and they have a Shah waiting for them.

I cannot imagine being so miserably unhappy that I acted out with such childish attitudes as these useful idiots.

Uh....they've been a theocracy since 1979....
And it ain't going back.

Especially the women.

Yes, you think it is funny that the people of Iran are living under the jackboot of an oppressive theocracy and support that.

I already knew that.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Especially the women.

It starts with the children

 

[Blaster]

With all the leaders being killed the only people left to negotiate with will be janitors.

In 1979 the Islamists and the secular leftists joined forces to remove the Shah. The secularists then learned the Islamists weren't ******* around, and then they found out.

We've been slowly bleeding fortune and lives ever since trying to reverse that fuckup.

The Shah was a great leader and close ally of the United States.
