A mob of angry Iranian protestors rush a regime hanging and cut down the two victims.
It seems like we ought to be doing more to help these groups. After all, what kind of country has portable hanging platforms readily available to their government employees?

“We”? I have high hopes that Iran can be free, but haven’t we as a nation learned to stay the hell out of other people’s internal problems? I mean, it has worked *so* fabulously in Korea, Viet Nam, Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran (the first time).

I don’t mean invade, I mean arm them, train them, fund them, provide safe haven if it doesn’t work out.
The French helped us, and that worked out!

Direct external aid allows the government to call them traitors and convince the population that the US is a real external threat. The protesters don’t want such aid.
The French in 1777 were already at effective war with the British when they recognized and supported a foreign state against the British.

okay, we can just kill the leadership then. That would help.
