So who's replacing him?In this case, the replacement will have nowhere near the experience and capability of Suleimani.
How soon they forget. How about the major power Grenada? The invasion of Grenada was short and sweet and generated a major motion picture:And has really not won any satisfactorily

United States invasion of Grenada - Wikipedia
Heartbreak Ridge - Wikipedia
Clint Eastwood starred in it! That sounds like a sold win all the way around. Who knows what would have happened with Grenada's massive army (supplemented by Cubans) of less than 10,000 people could have done in the region?
So who's replacing him?
Read the following in Jackie Mason's voice....Both are considered allies.
You don't really believe that things are so black & white?Iran is not minding it's own business so all you suggesting is let Iran do what it wants.
Both, i am bon wasting my time in a patriotic argument about the belligerent we can do what we want to you and that's ok but just you try it on us and you are in trouble because we have have the most powerful army to back up up.. attitude of a right wing militaristic government
Sooo..you saying we shouldn't protect ourselves and our interests?

Most people and counties are able to protect themselves without bully tactics.
As if....
Let's consider our tactics to keep Iran in line so far....I know you find it hard to believe but yes, its true
Let's consider our tactics to keep Iran in line so far....
- 1953 coup to replace an elected leader with the Shah.
- 1980-88 proxy war against Iran using Iraq (about 1M died).
- 1988 shooting down Iran Air flight 655.
- 2005-20?? Stuxnet
These are just the ones off the top'o me head.
We've spent a lot of money & killed many Iranians (& others)
over many decades. These measures haven't stopped Iran.
They might've even ramped up the conflict.
We should consider new tactics.
Aye, pride so often gets in the way of considering alternatives.Being nice often works but i think there may be too much loss of face to even try
But where's the bombast? How do you prop up your fragile masculinity by invoking your country's military strength if you use diplomacy?There are other solutions besides blowing up their leaders. Economic sanctions have worked in the past and they are relatively bloodless.

You don't seem to realize that that's exactly what Iran is doing.Sooo..you saying we shouldn't protect ourselves and our interests?
You don't seem to realize that that's exactly what Iran is doing.
The real point to Obama's peace initiative was to reduce our threat to Iran, and thereby reduce their need to have a nuclear deterrent. And I'm sure it would have taken all of ten years to convince them that we would really stop attacking them, since we'd been doing so for so long. And when the Republicans in Congress made it clear that peace negotiations with the USA cannot even be trusted to outlast a presidential cycle, they made it clear to Iran that a nuke is their only guarantee of national security.
Only an idiot would think that is in the USA or global security interests.

Yeah. That won't happen though. The war industry needs US to have enemies, otherwise they won't have their biggest customer. War is business, and Trump just made sure to provide a demand.I argue that the best
way to stop this enemy is to stop compelling them to be the enemy.
You do realize that this Iranian thug was actively planning to kill American diplomats who were trying to "be nice" in our dealings with that part of the world?
