I stand on the fact that not only are American's happy at Soleimani's death but also Iraqis and Iranians who suffered at his hand.Lord Jim wrote:
She is of course referring to the demonstrations brought on by the Iranian regime's initial dishonesty about shooting down the plane; nothing to do with their feelings about Solemani.
She's pointing out the distinction between these folks and contrasting them with the 40% of Americans who apparently don't care about the non-stop lying of Trump and his regime...
I'm hoping the repressive regime in Iran is toppled and peace can prevail in the Middle East. You can choose to interpret events in a manner detrimental to Trump no matter what. That to me is intellectual dishonesty.
"Yet in parts of the Middle East, the reaction was different. Soleimani, a man thought of as invincible and all-powerful in the region, was killed at about 1 a.m. local time, just as he was leaving Baghdad airport. By 4:30 a.m., a group of Iraqis was marching—running, even—though the country’s capital carrying a large Iraqi flag, celebrating his death. In one video, a man’s voice can be heard lauding the killing, saying the deaths of Iraqi protesters had been avenged."
"More recently, in Iraq, he was instrumental in the violent crackdown against protests that had erupted in October. The protesters’ ire targeted not only the corruption and mismanagement of their own politicians, but Iran’s role in both, as well as its overbearing control over the country through proxy Shiite militias loyal to Tehran. “We in Iran know how to deal with protesters,” Soleimani had reportedly told Iraqi officials in October. “This happened in Iran and we got it under control.” Though Iraqis have continued to take to the streets, more than 500 of them have been killed. Demonstrations in Iran were also brutally crushed—more than 1,000 died in the crackdown there, according to Iranian officials."
Soleimani didn't deserve a quick death.
