Good one, Norm.
I think the toppling of this Iranian regime has been in the plans for several administrations. This is a continuation of the protection of a western led global order established after WWII. So was Korea, Vietnam, Central America, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Venezuela, etc.
In the past, these were sold as "stopping the spread of communism" or the "war on terror." The truth is harder to sell to the American people that we are in fact the law enforcement arm of a rules based international order. The list of countries that don't fall in line include those I just listed all the way up to Russia and China. Who we will have conflict with in the future. I'm also sure that these military operations are a flex to both.
Rising and falling superpowers have been jostling for position for the past 80 years. This is all part of it.
Western-style liberal democracy is highly preferable, I just wish of course that they didn't use war so often to protect it. I don't know. This is just me typing as I think.
