I know, I know, this is not the platform. But however I dislike the war (which sounds across-the-board unpopular except with Republican senators) having love for a regime that massacres protestors by the thousands is cruel and perverse.

Having love for a regime that massacres school children by the hundreds sounds cruel and perverse, and 40% [0] of the US still approves of that regime. Guess 40% of the US is just as cruel and perverse as this person, in other words it's barely worth mentioning given how common it is.
Criticizing the US's actions against Iran is in no way condoning the things that the regime has done to it's own citizens. Especially since those actions are contributing directly to the Iranian people's hardship.
I'm not saying that you, personally, are being deliberately obtuse and unnuanced about this (and I'm not even saying that there aren't people who are sympathizing with the Iranian regime) but there are absolutely people being deliberately obtuse and unnuanced about it.
I 'love' this sort of posh framing. Is there a war you like for a change? Thousands of civilians are dying on whims of an old mentally sick man, with nobody having balls to stop him anyhow. He can claim he is setting up a genocide of entire nation to whole world and... nothing? I know, one of the less bloody senseless wars US waged, ending up defeated again, but still. Everybody's US taxes are helping financing this.
Nothing substantial achieved, at least not positive for US. Israel is toying with you like with a donkey and carrot on stick. Is that not insulting to your own pride and self-worth? You lost all partners globally, everybody hates dealing with US and rolls their eyes on another daily set of whims of your oligarchs.
China is damn happy, russia is very happy so there is certainly that. And Iran, they will keep doing their thing, regardless of what you do and cia has to accept there isnt much they can change about that. Iran would be stupid to not throw everything into getting nuclear bomb for themselves. russians would be stupid to not help them there at this point.
