#1 Sorry, problem goes deeper than that. The Ayatollahs will find another rube if you get rid of the current one.

#2 One Ayatollah (Khamenei) and the IRGC actually matter here.

#3 I think killing elites are one of advantages that democracies have over dicatorships. This means less innocent civilians killed.

#6 OS may be right (#1) about the long term effects, but that doesn't mean doing it wouldn't be fun.

#9 I concur w/OS in that they would find another dufus to be their mouth piece. I'm still not opposed to killing the monkey anyway. I think we should be working over time to wet-work all these *ssholes. Chavez, Castro, Kim Jong-Il, etc.

#12 I agree with Uleck Ghibelline9225. Take out the leadership. Let them try to take out ours if they can. We have a plan for orderly transition of power and dictatorships, even with shame democratic fronts, rarely do.

Also they would likely cause a Holy War if they tried to kill "The One"

#13 Wait for a big government meeting then send the F-22's with JDAMs.
