11. That's not my point

My point is not to say that the Iranian leader isn't a bad person. They are.
My point is that no one country, however well intentioned, has the right to kidnap or murder the leader of another country.

Our current government is run by pedophile billionaire grifters putting Black and brown people in concentration camps, we have no moral or legal authority to dictate to others about their government or it's actions.

A government that unilaterally decides who can rule another country is not a democracy but a dictatorship.
