    So if you understand that there was no real pretext for an invasion, why are you comparing these two topics?

      Can’t I call out the hypocrisy? It’s irrelevant what the pretext was, the Iranian regime is still brutal and doesn’t allow it’s people to vote on how it’s government is run.

        Sure, but this is politics. All the bad things and the good things are true at the same time. If you try to make a scorecard of the lies and the truths, it will never end.

        Are the Americans meddlesome? Yes. Is it terrible that the current administration ended WHO support and overseas medical assistance programs? Also yes.

        We cannot have pure discourse, it doesn’t exist.
