IF Khameini is in fact dead, that’s a good thing.
IF this somehow leads to a regime change AND said regime change is more pro-West instead of more radical Islamic, that’s a good thing.

It is completely unacceptable that the administration did not even attempt to make a case to Congress.
It is completely unacceptable that Congress does not do its job to act as an to act as a check on the executive branch, ever.
It is completely unacceptable that the candidate who ran on ending forever wars, and not getting in the United States entangled into foreign conflicts, has become a warhawk.
It is completely unacceptable that yet again we are going to spend ungodly amounts of American money and potentially American lives on Israel’s behalf, fighting a conflict that is Israel’s alone.
