What moment would that be? Begging for the Americans to bomb their former country?

[thomassmith65]

Yes.

10 million Iranians live outside Iran. They want a normal country again.

Later today, I'm sure footage from LA, Toronto, London, Stockholm will be up.

[gizajob]

It’s great, they can go back home now and get on with building a new state.

[breakyerself]

They're not going to have a normal country. The United States under Trump isn't interested in a democratic Iran. They want a dictator they can control.

[Almondsetat]

At some point you have to decide: if my country is held back by a brutal dictatorial regime where civilians can't hope to topple it, is there anything else to do other than get external help?

[aaa_aaa]

This was never about Iranian people. This is all about war mongers, puppets and idiots who believe them.

[4ndrewl]

Maybe speak to some Libyans. Or Iraqis. Or Syrians?

[breakyerself]

Trump isn't there to help. He wants the oil and he wants a puppet dictator. He doesn't care about the people.

[vasco]

Which Arab countries are better after US intervention? The last place that had a dictator is now ruled by ISIS.

[paganel]

At no point in life I would wish for my fellow citizens to get killed by a foreign power. I’m already in my mid-40s, I’ve spent a day or two out in the streets, protesting (granted, not against governments that the West labels as dictatorial), but at no point has that option crossed my mind. More on point, I would regard the people thinking like that as traitors, because that’s what they are by definition, wishing for your fellow citizens to get killed by a foreign Power so that your political views can prevail is the very definition of treason to one’s people and nation.

[bjourne]

Oh, please. If you think the majority of all Iranians are in favor of US-Israeli bombings of their home country, you're seriously smoking some potent propaganda.

[jachee]

As an American, I’m really starting to feel that way.
