Absolutely. As would the families of the 3 dead soldiers & the people killed in Texas today.

Iran wasn’t a threat to Europe or the US.
Has there been any recent examples of regime changes in the Middle East which have gone well?

Botched by different Administrations for a start although the problem for all the region was the Iranian sponsored input to destabilising it all, hence why this is so important in strangling Irans capability to continue their terror once and for all. What's noticeable is allies in the Region are preferring to back the US on going ahead with it rather than siding with the Islamic Rep Regime because they too also realise how destabilising they are. Many who don't support them are sick and tired of the same old evil Regime and like many (if not yourself) across the world as well as in the entire region there welcomes it. 

They also had their chance after chance after chance to play ball with America who were willing to come to table but alas they had no intention for genuine diplomacy and instead continue on waging their wars by proxy. Long overdue and more than happy to see it being followed through after making such a significant targetted impact last year.

If China invaded the US which bits would you give up?

We enjoyed the preview show back in June last year how targetted and impressive Midnight Hammer went and Epic Fury looks to be on it's way to eclipsing that. 

I doubt the families of the 3 dead American soldiers think it’s going fantastic.

Do you honestly believe Iran was a present threat to Europe or the US?

It's war, casualties are always highly likely, you can't be that naive to think there wouldn't be any? The devastation of their Regime Epic Fure Operation itself is what's so impressive. To destroy so much of their top command, nuclear and missile capability since last June to now is going to neuter them long term for the betterment of everyone.

You would have preferred the old Islamic Rep Regime to exist continuing on with their proxy wars and terror?

It's not the same situation. Conflicts in the past were never going to make material change in the region like crushing this one. This is the head of the beast which needed toppling the most.

You could ask for them to give it back but I doubt they’ll listen.

Does Ukraine/ Europe have the money and military might to take it back?
