I hope the ruthless mofos over in Iran are losing sleep just thinking about what’s about to bury them.

Iran has murdered Americans for decades. Payback is warranted.

I must’ve done about a million things
I’d do ‘em, and I’d leave ‘em alone
I didn’t care how much they cried, no sir
Their tears left me cold as a stone.

But then I fooled around and I found out
I fooled around and I found out
I fooled around and I found out
I fooled around and I found out

I have no Iranian background but this has been the primary news story consuming my attention for the past 2 weeks. A free Iran means and end to a lot of ‘malarky’in the middle east and the removal of a hemmoroid on the world’s sphincter for the past 47 years.

I hope the message will go out: “Nice turban you got there mullah, shame if something should happen to it before you get to your condo in Moscow.”

‘Persia’ is an exonym used by furriners based on one (albeit dominant) ethnicity in Iran.

Nor do they bring grocery and health care prices down. They also tend to make the deficit worse. The GOP is in for a rough midterm if Trump doesn't start putting America first. This isn't what we voted for.

So now we are supposed to go back to supporting foreign wars again?

So hard to keep up.

A peaceful Iran means fewer foreign base expenditures and less trouble abroad.

We aren’t going “back” to anything. We are catching up. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Ditto. I wonder of Russia will supply the mullahs with small boys and goats though.

You don’t know what Iran has done since 1979? Seriously?
