> [@Dinsdale](#): > > And I note that **Wesley Clark** failed to expressly respond whether or not he approves of the US - or other nations - violently interfering within another sovereign state’s borders when we consider it in our interest. Is it made more legitimate just because the aggressor is more powerful? Is it legitimate for other nations to do so - say, to the US or Israel - in return? Iran has been promoting war against Israel for years. This war started because Iranian backed proxies attacked Israel in october of 2023. Iran has also fired missiles at a dozen nations since this war began. You guys act like a nation can do whatever they want to their own citizens and its perfectly fine, but once violence happens between nations than its unbearable. None of you gave a damn about the tens of thousands of Iranians massacred by the government after the recent uprisings against tyranny and oppression. But all of a sudden, now you care about Iranian causalities once it fits your psychological narrative. You all were silent when tens of thousands of Iranians were being killed by the IRGC, but now that some are being killed by airstrikes suddenly you care deeply about the lives of the Iranian people because you can use that to promote your ideological narrative. I’m guessing you guys also feel whats happening in Gaza is a genocide, but you don’t care about the actual genocide going on in South Sudan since that can’t be blamed on the west. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/poll-us-attacks-on-iran/1028088)._
