Its only a false choice because you want to sit on the fence. Direct action should be met with direct action. People pretending that any American response wouldn't have been treated the same way is ridiculous. They've been trying sanctions and sternly worded letters for as long as I can remember and I'm not that old.

Out of curiosity, how do you not see him being killed for something he's responsible for as anything other than personal responsibility?
He's absolutely responsible for his own death and deserved to die. The guy was a blight on humanity.
i just think the cure was worse than the disease. The Iranians have won this political battle. The gov't of Iran defended their sovereignty by chucking some missiles where they knew it wouldn't kill any Americans, muting any escalation of military conflict (which they know they'd lose in the short term) while providing plenty of room for their militias to seek American blood to spill.

how had their sovereignty been violated ? its not like solieman was killed inside iran
a senior Iranian gov't official was killed. The guy was floated as the Presidential candidate in their last election...

If Russia killed Mattis when he was on a covert visit in Syria, how would that be reported in the US media?

the henrich himmler of the middle east was killed and you want to make it sound like he didnt have it coming. he was as much of an iraqi govt officials as he was a terrorist. you dont actually believe that he was in iraq on a peace mission do you?

With whom have the won this political battle?

I also fail to see how this is a defense of their sovereignty when it was them who violated American sovereignty.

If Iran shot this plane down they are fucked... but what makes anyone think Iran shot it down? What would they have had to gain?
Well, if they're as serious as their threats (which I doubt they are) it would seem like a logical move to blow up some Westerners.

Trump lacks any foresight whatsoever. It's pretty easy to see. He's a ticking time bomb who is only marginally controlled or limited by his advisers.

Probably the most dangerous President the US has had since Nixon.

we killed more than just a senior gov't official, we killed a lot of people with him. So how many Americans has Iran killed in burning a guard house and busting down a gate?

I just think that targeting some strategic local Shiite militia assets (for example) would have been more appropriate. It sounds like the POTUS just went with the most extreme possible response, and given the current domestic political climate around him, his motives in choosing that option are highly suspect.

Wait, do you think that's how it was being reported by the Iranians? Burned down a guard house and busted a gate, no big deal?
