Iran had executed 40,000 of its own citizens. This presented an exceptional quandry for the US president. Sit by and do nothing, or try to stop it? Trump publicly mulled the issue for weeks, which was the time for fair discussion on the issue.
Those that opposed bombing Iran ( at that time ) now have a legitimate platform to criticize Trump. Those that remained silent should be silent still.

Is that 40,000 number going to turn out to be the nurse Nayirah of Iran? Does that number come from a credible NGO? Is there a mass grave in a known location? Grieving mothers? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony
Here is the Wikipedia page for the issue ( though Wikipedia is also suspect ).

It might be hard for people in other countries to fathom, but Americans, by and large, want this.
That is not true. Half or more of us are disgusted. His supporters will say it’s just his bluster and didn’t expect him to follow through. It’s sickening.

9/11 happened because we failed to act when we had the chance to take out UBL in the 90's. Trump is not waiting for us to get nuked. His actions are simple self-defense by putting the Persians back in charge in Iran. So oil prices go up for a month, big deal.
The world will be FAR safer when that terrorist regime is gone.

While unfortunate for them, Iran claims they were foreign-backed subversives and saboteurs.
This is not a matter of military intervention, much less concern, by the United States of America or Israel-- unless we were the ones backing them.
Apparently we learned nothing from Vietnam.
