Theres pictures online confirming that it was an Iranian misfire that killed the school. Will you now redirect your outrage over innocent children to the incumbent Iranian government? Will you continue entering threads to signal your outrage to the world? Will you keep quiet, double down or practice the morals you claim to have?

Weird that you're so delighted to shift the blame for the tragedy of children being blown up in school, even more so that you're relying on unsubstantiated claims to do it. Since you know more than the rest of the world about this, please update Wikipedia with a reliable source for your claim as has already been requested by admins here[1].

I work with and know a lot of Shia (non-Iranian) Muslims and listening to them talk about this assassination I'm convinced that the likelihood of attempted terror attacks against the US has increased significantly. The non-Iranian part is key. Millions of muslims around the world viewed the Iranian theocracy as the only power in the world fighting for Islam. They are devastated.

The "good" part is that Sunni Muslims probably won't have the same feeling, or do they? But I agree with the assessment. I'd definitely avoid large public events. Darn the world is becoming more and more chaotic and we are just waiting for China to put up the last piece to make it into 19th Europe.

Where in my message does it seem that I am delighted? No doubt the truth will eventually come out, what I have seen is that the school was sited unusually close to an Iran launch site. You can judge me all you want for "being delighted", whateve…

True but other countries don't have an equivalent process.

Most have, but the decition is made by the local politicians instead of foreing nuclear powers. It's actually very similar to the impeachment.

Probably one in a thousand. But as one whom the Ayatollah has sworn to eliminate, I can still state that man was sharp and brilliant and extremely well spoken. His worldview was internally consistent. He had vision and experience and knew how to motivate people. He was a one in ten million leader. I give him that praise and more, even recognising that his stated mission was to exterminate myself and my children.

> But as one whom the Ayatollah has sworn to eliminate What does this mean — did you stick him with the bill at all restaurant or something?
