the article you referred me to by the TIME columnist is powerful, Cliff. I just want to assure we think through possible alternate outcomes beyond get rid of the bad guys. Noble goal but hardly the whole story.
I think the best outcome for Israel, the Middle East and the world is for the people of Iran to take control of their nation and introduce a degree of free choice. China will not offer that. It seems anathema to the Chinese Communist Party. We should support the People of Iran making their own way. I think that is what President Trump was talking about during his early Administration tour of the Middle East.

So, my Wife's cousin, Prof Dick Bulliet, recommended I read the Narges Bajoghli article in Time. https://time.com/7295877/issues-with-regime-change-iran/
It is another perspective.
