You can't not lay this mess at Trump's feet. There are consequences to the maximum pressure campaign that Trump has launched against Iran.

Sure it was. Ferguson wasn't burning a foreign embassy. If they had, guess what, it would have been an act of war. Embassies are sovereign territory, who are supposed to have their safety guaranteed by the host country.
Isn't the host country asking the occupying army to leave?

Then went on to mock our President.

Yep, it’s called getting rid of the Iranian regime, and it will be happening one way or another soon.
But, the embassy protest wasn't an attack, like an act of war. It was a protest, that was violent, not unlike violent protests on our own soil. It was a reaction to us air strikes on Iraqis. The USA just doesn't willy nilly order the assassination of opposition leaders or a nation's official leader, and a general, because he was on the scene of a violent protest, that didn't breach the compound.

It's strange how we never hear of these terrorist murderers until one of them is snuffed out. I had never heard of Bhagdaddy or Solemani before we sent them to the land of 10k virgins.

How about taking direct action against an enemy state that has been dicking with us since they attacked our embassy in the 70's?
How about being sick of their shi-ite and not taking it any more?
This doesn't have to be about another war, or even oil.
How about finally taking action after they killed and harmed Americans?
Or we could send them a fruit basket, say, "Sorry" and hope they don't unfriend us on Facebook.
