The dictatorship is awful but so far all we did was replace him with his ostensibly worse son

I know that "all we did" was more of rhetoric than a statement of fact, but the war accomplished far more than that.

And if we are being consequentialists like that, then it will take years if not decades to judge whether this war was worth it. And you need to account for externalities too, such as the downstream effect on the terrorism they fund, Russia and China, etc.

I can think of a bunch of pedophile leaders I would prefer we remove from power here at home and it wouldn’t cost a dime. Frankly your Iranian friends don’t pay taxes or suffer from the debasement these actions will create.
