SATISH SHARMA - not just Rotigraphy.: Does Iran's impurity of motive justify paying Americans to bomb Iranian infrastructure?

Some people will say: Iran is not innocent. Iran has its own imperial ambitions. The resistance axis is Iranian influence expansion dressed as liberation theology. Fine. Say that. Say it loudly, if you believe it. And then answer this question: Even if Iran's motivations are partly self-interested, even if the resistance axis serves Iranian strategic goals as well as Palestinian liberation goals, even if Hezbollah was an instrument of Iranian policy as much as a Lebanese resistance movement, does that change what Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar are doing? Does Iran's complexity excuse funding a military campaign that is killing Iranian civilians? Does Iran's impurity of motive justify paying Americans to bomb Iranian infrastructure? You don't get to launder your own responsibility through Iran's complexity. The question of Iran's motivations is a separate question from the question of your actions. Your actions are: you are funding the war. Your actions are: you are providing the bases. Your actions are: you are writing the checks. Whatever Iran is or isn't, whatever Iran's strategic calculus is or isn't, your actions are your actions. And your actions are funding the killing. Own it or stop it. There is no third option that history accepts.
