    I think regime change in Iran is important. At the same time, I can’t help but feel the US is not doing this out of altruism, but out of opportunism.

      This is Iran’s second dose of regime change. Somehow you’d think if it didn’t work the first time we’d try something different the second time.

      What’s regime change going to do in the long run?

      Iran currently has elections which routinely elect pro-nuclear Presidents. Also, changing the government to remove clerical influence doesn’t resolve the Sunni-Shia split in regional politics.
