No-one has been killed by the government in USA just for singing and dancing. In Iran they have because it's a strict Islamic rule and singing + dancing is Haram in Islam. No-one has been hung from cranes in the USA, but in Iran they have by their tens of thousands. They are not remotely comparable and if you think they ae you are extremely out of touch. China bombing USA would make Americans experience something worse than they most have before. USA bombing Iran cannot do that, bombs are the least of their worries. Their government has killed far more than Israel or US bombs have. 

Look, I know the USA isn't doing this to "save the Iranian people". They want the oil, but saving the people is just coming as a nice bonus. Why would you want them to live under a strict dictatorship where people have died for as little as singing and dancing? Also, the thumbnail of that video is ABSURD. If a Women dressed like that Iran she'd be AT BEST imprisoned, but highly likely she wouldn't be seen again

In the case of inheritance, an older widow with grown children only gets one-eighth of the value of a dwelling.

*I find liberals defending certain countries amusing*

A man who sees his wife commit adultery may be exempted some punishment if he kills her. There are some exemptions for men who kill children or grandchildren, creating protection for "honour killings" of women and girls accused of sexual misconduct.

How does all this hyperbole justify killing children, bombing schools and hospitals. This is not the way to help the people, this only further radicalizes those in power.

Most of that is propaganda, applying extremes to a whole populations. And all of that is no reason to massacre civilians. Maybe it makes you feel better about bombing a country, but it's only making it worse, prolonging the revolution. 

A peaceful revolution has been taking place for many years

Instead of stimulating those movements and empowering Iranian women, bombing the country will only tighten the grip of the religious extremes.


No one is defending Iran's regime, people are condemning bombing Iran. That for motives that have nothing to do with making life better in Iran. The goal is to turn Iran into another country endlessly on the verge of civil war going nowhere. Just like Syria, Lebanon and Yemen. Stoking up tensions to make life worse rather than better.



U.S. Evangelicals are intentionally spreading false information online about Iranian Christians in order to promote more war and bloodshed.


This is not about saving the people, not even helping the people. 



Iran mourns 165 girls, staff killed in school strike during US-Israel war



That is the result, while this was before US/Israel started bombing Iran

Reforms come from within, not by decimating a country from outside. That only opens the door for even more radical elements to take hold.
