The point is weakening the regime so the population can rise up. Iranians do not want this government, in case you didn’t know


they didn't want saddam, too.

in group / out group. people tend to stop hating their government when outsiders start bombing schools.


Yeah, and making current leaders into martyrs is a great way to make the regime stronger, not weaker, is my point.

"Iranians" is a big umbrella, just like all Americans don't want the same thing, the same is true in other countries. After a week of bombings the regime seems as strong as ever, so clearly there are Iranians who are still supporting the regime, otherwise it would have fallen already. But again, killing them with senseless assassinations only seems to make them stronger, because of their religion.
