    Do you really want NATO to dismantle the government and then leave the country to sort its own shit out? Have you seen Iraq, Libya, or Afghanistan recently?

    The West generally lacks the public support necessary for an occupation of the length it would take to rebuild Iran. The international community has no appetite for NATO backed regime change.

      No, I want them to slowly and steadily build and fortify settlements where people can live free from the oppressive regime.

      Taking the entire country at once is asinine. Build smaller settlements within it to slowly change the culture over generations.

      It won’t be easy, but it’s the only viable solution unless a cultural shift happens from within (it won’t.)

      Wake me up when these problems get solved doing something I don’t suggest.
