I wonder if the liberal outlets are circulating his high school graduation picture.
WaPo fired everyone before they could run their “Revered Religious Leader is Dead” headline.

it's long overdue given the last 50 years of this dreadful Iranian regime conducting its war against westernised infidels.
It's interesting to think how long he's been in power. I think Iran has had 4 leaders in 100+ years. I don't know of another country with that track record.
Like the Steelers, only more successful.
Pittsburgh has 6 World Championships and the most wins in the league since the 70’s… How many wins has Iran had since the 70s?

I'm disappointed in 89th's post as well. I don't think the Steelers deserve that much hate.

First US casualties reported.
That's officially over the threshold of US casualties that most of the opposition are willing to allow, including on the right. Glenn Greenwald and Tucker among them.
My biggest issue with those sorts of arguments is how unaligned they are with people who actually join the military. Imagine joining the army under the moral condition that no foreign entanglement will be worth it if a single member of the armed forces loses their life over it. Nobody joins with that assumption, and I just bet that most people who join aren't exactly dreading the prospect of seeing some dangerous action. It's so cheap to impose the attitudes of the mothers of the armed forces members onto the whole culture. And you know those guys aren't actually opposed to the wars on that basis. It's just rhetorically convenient.

Matt asks some reasonable questions.
Seems likely that whatever rushes in to fill the vacuum will be at least a little better than what was there. Obviously the new leaders will be living under a credible death threat from Israel and the USA, which I guess will motivate them to some extent.

The above questions make me happy Israel is closely involved. I trust them to be more focused on this in the medium and long term than Trump and his appointees.

And presumably you trust them to be more focused than the next Dem administration.
