Michael Goodwin writes for the New York Post, normally I agree with him. Today he write a column entitled, “Using the military for regime change in Iran would be a gamble — don’t turn it into another Iraq.” Actually, that might not be so bad.
As presently governed Iran has been a pain in the rear for everyone in the Middle East and beyond. It has fostered and supported Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and nearly every sh*t-stirring Islamic radical group in the region.
Post-invasion Iraq, while internally a mess, has been a threat to none of its neighbors. Suppose a post-revolution Iran was similarly messy inside, but stopped fostering unrest in the balance of the region. How would that not be a huge improvement for the region?
I argue removing Iran as a regional fomenter of Islamic radicalism could be sufficient justification to act against its mullah-ridden regime.
