The Real timschochet 5,232 Posted September 18, 2023 Curious to see what folks think about this. I have mixed feelings. I love seeing these people get to go home to their loved ones. On the other hand Iran is an evil, murderous regime, ideologically committed to the utter destruction of America, western culture, our way of life, and Israel, and I hate helping them in any way. So I’m torn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
