Maybe we think a president is worth something. But anything is only worth what you can get for it on the market. I remember watching some "Olympus has Fallen" or other really bad movie, where the North Koreans held the POTUS hostage, and through out the movie I kept shouting, "Kill the bastard! We have 300 Million more of them!" If I was an American. But now there is a rather unique situation, where Americans could impeach, remove, and turn over the Donald, and recover some of the taxes he owes. Yes, the Iranians would probably kill him, but given his mental, and moral, state, that is no great injustice.
On the side, how much could we get for John Bolton, on the open market? Rumsfeld? Ouww, I bet Kissinger would go for a pretty penny! And Wolfowitz and his traitor wife. Oh, you didn't know about that one? Khallow, unfortunately, would sell for very little. Poor khallow.

Did Iran declare war on the US or had Soleimani been behind the "assassination" of our troops for over 15 years?

A person's terribleness and how smart it is to kill them are two separate questions.
But hey, help us march into yet another disaster of a war in the middle east. I'm sure it'll go just as well as Afghanistan and Iraq did!

He should have been taken out in 2003.

Bah, they should've taken out his parents in 1953. Then there would be peace in the Middle East, right?

You think the theocratic Iranian regime is a stabilizing influence on the Middle East or that life for Iranians has improved since 1979?

Please, save your breath [arizona.edu]. The Americans preferred that over the Russians being invited in, following the same example as Afghanistan.

You're saying they aren't? And really, you think it's about religion?

No, I'm saying they are containable and should actively be contained. Islamist terrorists think it's about religion and they're willing to die for it, Iran's 2 minute hate is the "death to America" chant is it not?

That's bullshit. They do it for almost two thousand dollars a month [syriahr.com]. You really gotta stop believing the bigoted gossipy nonsense. They are normal people only in it for the money.

That would imply that normal people don't invade others' territory for profit, or that their military is not also a death cult.. They are a very marketable asset, and business is good. Go bark up another tree.

Those people are depressed and pissed, not religious. And, believe it or not, some people do sacrifice themselves to protect their families. That's damn near biological instinct.
And you are welcome to pee all you want. That's what trees are for. Your religious angle is bullshit, if not, then it's working on you as effectively as on any of your Moslems there. It is effective propaganda, but people still want to be paid for their service. The terrorists aren't dummies, they jump to whoever pays the most, just like techies in California. If you want to score by body count, The Christians are winning. Be happy. Build yourself a bomb shelter if you need something to do.

Imagine. You are a teacher. There are no limits on your authoritarian urges. It is your duty to indoctrinate children into a life of submission. You will bend those children to your will, or kill them in the effort. But, you don't really need to kill one very often, because you have about 1300 years of such conditioning to back up your authority. An ocassional dead student just serves as a needed example, anyway. It is your god-given DUTY to condition these children into submission, to serve the needs of Allah, or Allah's mortal spokespersons.
Islam. Submit. Islam MEANS submit.
Yeah, regular people, just like you and me, except, they've been brainwashed by experts.
Abortion is the number one killed of children in the United States.
