Crazy how we can all agree that we're ruled by a pedophilic jingoistic oligarchy, but when they tell us other countries/regimes/leaders are bad we nod in agreement.
I've tried to research Iran leadership and it did seem pretty bad. The US is just entering the precipice of Fascism, it's not massacring its citizens yet.
I also dislike Iran's political system, but overall the US has killed, maimed, tortured and ruined the lives of many more people then Iran's government ever could. US is currently the most evil country on this planet, and has been in the running ever since its founding.
But even then, let's suppose for a second that somehow Iran's government is more evil. So what? Bombing Tehran city center, destroying mosques and museums, causing an immense ecological disaster by blowing up oil reservoirs, and double-tapping an all-girls school with tomahawks will not help the people of Iran in any way. It made their lives measurably, verifiably worse for generations.
