He wants to wipe out their culture. The fight is with the Iranian government and not the Iranian people. There are many good people in Iran. A vast majority. We should protect their cultural sites as a matter of ethics.
Do we hate Iranians and want to kill them or do we disagree with their government and want to find a peaceful resolution? This needs to be the media talking point.
Trump ordered a war crime and the media needs to take the side of a moral and ethical America.

Cruise missiles will likely be used, but Iran has air defenses. Besides, Trump WILL be declared a war criminal if he pursues his revenge. That's not quite the Nobel Peace Prize he so covets.

I am sure now, she can NEVER ever visit any family that remains.

Trump wants to mimic them. Of course he thinks his name is a cultural icon.
I wonder.... if trumps buildings are knocked over will he still owe the Russians all that money?

(421 posts)attack their cultural sites. I listened to an Iranian expert this morning saying how there were people upset with this current Iranian regime and were striking and protesting in massive numbers just recently and now that momentum had stopped cold. Now the threat to their historical artifacts and sites have unified all Iranians against America.
