So we've gone from striking Iranian nuclear facilitates, to striking Iranian government and military facilities, what's next? Infrastructure?

I think that would be good enough. At least until.they establish a new government after we've addressed the current one.

So we just keep blowing up Iranian governments until we get one we like?

Damn if it's that easy I'm surprised prior administrations have ever had any difficulty with foreign policy.

Yes, the previous administrations have handled Iran poorly. The only language terrorists understand is violence. Trying to reason or negotiate with them is a waste of time. Military action is the only thing that can actually address Iran.

Wait so you want Trump to do more airstrikes, spend more on the military, put American soldier in harm's way and potentially start a war with Iran? Didn't Trump run on an isolationism platform of making peace with everyone and stopping all the wars?
