This is Trump and Netanyahu's war, not the war of the American people

Trump and Netanyahu have different agendas to attack Iran. Netanyahu is in control of Trump's actions nevertheless and Netanyahu is using the USA to help him fulfil his ambitions. Trump, ever the D grader, does not even know what he hopes to achieve in Iran. Republicans have said it loud and clear that any regime change in Iran is up to the Iranian people, not the USA. Democracy cannot be made to happen by bombing a country into submission. And the Iranians are made of more sturdy stuff, with more up to date weaponry and military expertise than the Venezuelans.

Why do I say that Trump and Netanyahu have different agendas regarding Iran. Trump's mantra all the time had been about a regime change. In fact, he is calling on ordinary Iranians to rise up to reclaim their country, whatever that means. Iran, whether under the Islamic regime or the USA appointed Shah still belongs to the Iranians. Of course, a new regime change would cater to the interest of the USA, especially control of the oil, not the Iranian people. This is always the ploy, just like in Iraq. What did the Iraqi people achieved, helping to topple Saddam Hussein? They lost their oil and life is even more tumultuous now for them with the country still unstable. Why are Iraqis now protesting against the action of the USA and Israel against Iran answer any questions? Didn't they help the USA during the illegal and fabricated Iraq War?

Netanyahu's agenda on the other hand is to create a 'Greater Israel' by expanding its territory at the expense of other Muslim countries and Iran is the only Muslim country in the Middle East preventing that from happening besides the Houthis, Hamas and Hezbollah. Lebanon and Syria will fall into Israel hands should Iran capitulate. But that would not be easy, as without troops on the ground. USA is fearful of a guerilla war after its experience in Vietnam and Afghanistan, and I doubt they will relish having boots on the ground in Iran.
