I personally question the wisdom and propriety of the strikes, but I do acknowledge that the Persian diaspora supports it. I dont know how actual Iranians living in Iran feel about it, I imagine it's a mix of support but also fear for what comes next as well as anger over the destruction
I was in DC in 1979 and the early 1980s. Many of my college classmates were the sons and daughters of the Shah's supporters who fled Iran. No doubt the diaspora is happy.
Westwood (in Los Angeles), which is sometimes called "Little Tehran" due to the large Persian population, had a massive demonstration in support of the strikes this past Sunday.
They want their country back. I can relate to that. I want my country back too.
When would you say you lost it?
Good question. Probably before I was born.
Dang.
Probably 1913, when both the Federal Reserve was created and when the US Federal Government was granted the power to levy direct taxes.
Yes. That's a good place to start.
The most important phrase in the Preamble is "We the People," which acknowledges that the Constitution is not the creation of a monarch or a ruling class, but rather the result of the collective will of the people. This phrase emphasizes equality, democracy, and the importance of consensus and unity. The phrase puts the power in the hands of the people - the citizens of the United States.
You cannot stop a war by showing a constitution.
The Con-stittution is just a piece of paper, a napkin like this one...
You stop wars by stop participating in their so called "society".
What’s so interesting about this is how in DC right now I see minorities from the Middle East celebrating while it’s white people who are upset. When you look at what party is “supposed” to define a certain group it’s flipped.
This was a once in a generation opportunity and if we didn’t cease it now and Iran executed a dirty bomb or doubled down on its terror proxies we would have kicked ourselves.
It’s important to note that while the initial strikes were called US-Israel strikes Israel launched there’s 20 minutes before ours. Once this was happening Iran was going to strike the U.S. assets in the area creating the emergency allowing the U.S. to protect its soldiers and interests.
These technicalities matter and as long as within 60 days this starts being wrapped up, which the enormous fallout in Iranian attacks are points towards this is going to not only be successful but realistically wrap up before War Powers issues. Israel is the one going after the leadership and regime targets we have just been hitting the military ones. For once the Admin has kept the Gang of 8 in the loop and there stances have been telling.
