LEGO could not present a logical argument against points I posted so first resorted to the old name calling type trick against me. Including insinuating I am some sort of Muslim fanatic when actually conscientious atheist. Then went of on an irrelevant rant claiming the US invented all sorts of things and Iranians nothing or very little, which somehow justifies treating them as inferiors. However, I saw a comment recently from a bloke who reckoned among the smartest people he had come across in US universities were Iranians.
Note details of the strike Iran made against a US military base and airport as retaliation fot the cold blooded murder of General Soleimani and those with him including an Iraqi military leader. Basically a precision strike from a country with highly developed missile capabilities which seems no attempt was made to intercept. Also, apparently Iran gave enough notice through Swiss and Traquis to allow US personnel to get into bunkers and minimise casualties.
Is important to remember the US Has long been a major threat to Iran trying to impose its will over the government and people using all sorts of dirty tricks. Basically all Iranians want is to stop them Meanwhile, Iran has virtually no capability to threaten the US from its own "backyard." However, the latest retaliation indicates it is now a strong power regarding defending itself.
