I think this begins some kind of political resistance over there. Not saying they shake Islam but the country is already hurting from poverty and sanctions. I believe riots started over petrol going to $.50.
That country isn’t going to endure hardship for the sake of hardship. At some point a new group comes in. Better? I don’t know.

Some of you might be too young to remember but Saddam Hussein hid/ placed Mig fighters near sone of Iraq's most holiest/oldest cultural sites knowing that we would not strike them for fear of world/Islam allies backlash

Probably unfair; one was a high profile terrorist leader, the other an American who was a high profile rank and file terrorist.
If anything, the targeting of Soleimani is more justified.

What are your thoughts, is Trump really calling for bombing of non-military cultural sites? Or was this just worded badly and that’s not really what he meant? And if he did mean it, do you support it and should that be our aim?
Trump is a patriot. Trump is a New Yorker. Trump is old school.
You think he forgot about the towers? I can promise you he did not. I can promise you there are many who will never forget. Iran is fricked and its about time.

I think it was to tell Iran that we know where they are hiding the important labs and research facilities and perhaps even weapons.
It would not be surprising that Iran hid these things under sites of cultural importance thinking we would not hit them because of the PR. Trump, by numbering them quietly told Iran we know where every singe one of them are.

Very possible, but this topic very much proves that people hear what they want to hear. Some prefer to believe the thought above (like me), while others choose to believe that DJT will just randomly bomb non-military targets.
I see this as a sign that Trump is actually willing to punch someone in the face. Not pay them pallets of cash. Iranians are going to think twice before acting out again.

The ragheads have been destroying Christians and their religious sites for years. I never did adhere to “2 wrongs don’t make a right”. Evil hiding behind a religion is still evil and should be destroyed.

I think leftists should build a human shield around whatever they consider a cultural target.

The Mullahs won't be setting up their Command and Control in any Mosques...which they formerly knew would be safe zones. Trump 'deal making'. 
I can't wait for him to announce a week before the Election, a coming EO which disqualifies any and all Immigrants who cast an illegal vote, from any and all potentially, future 'Amnesty' or Citizenship. No matter that he could never enforce this, but it would virtually upend the Dem's illegal voter strategy. The Dems would lose it...election manipulation...by suppressing...ILLEGAL votes. All it takes is guts, and dgaf attitude toward the Dems. Trump makes this fun. That's why they hate him so much.
The Mullahs have one play to remain in power...drop the whole nuke program, and stop the ME Islamist hegemony and terrorism ('terrorism' being Regime change, in their minds).
Earth 2020. Brees is over the hill. Burrow at his prime. A time for all things.

There is a difference betweem “cultural sites” and sites “important to Iran & the Iranian culture.” For once, it seems that Trump let someone literate in the English language write his tweet for him. I have no doubt that the language was carefully chosen.
No one with any brains is suggesting that we are planning to bomb the ruins of Persepolis or ancient Safavid sites.

Which are not Iranian anyway.

I suspect that some of Iran's nuke program facilities are strategically located under or adjacent to religious and cultural sites.

So many people don't realize how the Geneva Conventions handicaps us, and we're the only damn country that abides by the thing.
It hasn't kept any countries from torturing our soldiers and dragging them through the streets. It only prevents us from doing the same thing.
Also, ROEs clearly state that if those sites are being used as shelter/staging points/weapons storage for any combatants, they can be obliterated.
These countries use men and women as shields and conduct their operations in such a way that it makes us "look bad" if we drop a bomb in certain areas, when in fact, it is THEY who look bad for using kids and women as human shields. Sadly, today's court of public opinion is filled with jurors who are too stupid to understand anything other than what they're fed from the MSM and too lazy to educate themselves.
If Iran even so much as blinks at us...hammer them

Well, the Geneva Conventions and the fact that we are civilized... those other countries... not so much.
