What I have said has nothing to do with the paradox of tolerance. I am firmly on the side of not tolerating the intolerant, but stating that, "not tolerating" does not extend to "starting wars in an attempt at world conquest to rid the world of the intolerant".
If "not tolerating the intolerant" is not actionable, it is just mindless rhetoric.

That's it? Momentary gasoline price is all that matters now? Not geopolitical interests, alliances, _Doing The Right Thing_? If that's the only angle you care about, then US subduing the Iranian regime would go a long way to de-facto dissolving OPEC and bring much more flexibility to oil prices.
What part of "doing the right thing" is bombing an all girls school?

Anything other than lily white is brown, don't you know? More so if they're sitting on top of a bunch of oil, or have the wrong religion, or just happen to be born in the wrong spot. Racism isn't necessarily perfectly confined to color, it's just a convenient shorthand so people can do what they want to do anyway.
I'd love to read a proper analysis on Americans reducing race and racism to colouring books with pretty little lines. I did read one recently, but it put the onus for it entirely on BLM (since it was focused on a global scale), despite the phenomenon being far older than them. I do sometimes wonder how Americans would react if I told them the palest person I know is Iraqi.

Iran has indicated they will only target ships tied to countries that are involved in the conflict. That likely means US and Israel. Unclear if countries like the UK that are facilitating the US through use of their bases would be considered legitimate targets (likely yes).
That's not how mines work. They don't only explode on people you want them to explode on.
