Iranian civilians aren't being punished. Other than a few bridges, Trump hasn't ordered the bombing of civilian targets.
When Obozo bombed Libya he hit all manner of civilian targets. Power plants, bridges, anything deemed dual use. Ie: stuff with both military use as well as civilian use.
Same with Clinton in Kosovo.
......and there was no huge outcry about it here.
Trump's trying to.
IMHO, his biggest mistake in all this was in easing off. Shoulda kept the heat on.
....and the backdoor negotiation requests from Iran while they publicly deny they wanted to talk, didn't help either.
What he should have done was to insist that any request from Iran be done publicly. Otherwise no talking, just bombing.
The Iranians admit they are working hard towards building nukes. I say we should take them at their word.
Does anyone truly believe the World would be a better place with a nuclear armed Iran?
It wasn't welcome relative to what replaced it.
The people of Iran got f'ed over.
The majority in Iran do not want what they have as a government, but are powerless to stop it.
Had the Iranian people been given am honest vote as to what would replace the Shah, it sure wouldn't have been for the mofo's runnin' the place now.

- President Donald Trump has demanded reparations from Iran “for the damage they’ve done over a 50-year period.”
- He also said the U.S. has control of the Strait of Hormuz.
- The impasse leaves Washington treating its naval presence as a permanent fixture guaranteeing access, while Tehran treating that same presence as the primary obstacle to normalizing traffic.
'That's a good idea': U.S. and Iran trade reparation demands as Hormuz deal hopes fade
The dueling positions Washington and Tehran staked out showed how far apart the two sides remain even as both talked of winding down regional hostilities.
