No one liked the ayatollah, but if you think the president can go to war without congressional approval then you are unamerican. On top of that, the younger generation of the IRGC is more extreme than the current one, and there has never been a successful regime change by only using an air campaign. Dummies might point to Kosovo or Libya, but the opposition in those cases were armed. In Iran, the opposition is about to get slaughtered and oppressed further, unless we get boots on the ground.

The last time congress declared war was 1942. That ship long ago my friend.


And, probably not coincidentally, 1942 was the last time the US got involved in a conflict that we can be proud of.


I saw some news that the US and Israel have been killing existing leftist opposition india’s Iran because they want to install the Shah’s son.


DoD* - the Department of Defense was named through statute, and only the Congress has the power to change it.
