Accident? What if?

Iran has been in a perpetual state of war against the United States for forty years now. For the most part the U.S.A. has placed them on ignore. Jimmy Who? chose to not support an ally in the Shah because of allegations of human rights abuses and instead allowed a regime change to one that makes the Shah look like a piker. President Reagan at first took a hard line stance on Iran, but because of the instability of the region opted to not retaliate on their previous acts of war.
Saddam Insane used the situation to his advantage and invaded our former ally. The resulting war ground to a stalemate.Russia was mired down in Afghanistan, and while they postured as strong, they were weak and on the verge of collapse. They were not going to support the Mad Mullahs, they were backing Iraq. Iran was not going to beg us for help, they'd just tossed our puppet regime in the trash in favor of one allied with Satan.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, and knowing that if Iran's mullah's were toppled that a more sinister lot would take their place, we supported Iran under the table and got caught in the Iran Contra affair.
The hard line government in Iran has held the line for forty years. Our efforts to reach out to them have been rebuffed as Satan's friends call us the great Satan. Kinda like donks calling conservatives Hitler.
Barry Soetoro reached out to them and gave them billions. While some claim that it was Iran's money, Iran's money had long ago been given, by court order, to the victims of their terror campaigns. That was American taxpayer dollars,or rather Chinese money borrowed on a credit line against American taxpayers which China would have approved of as long as we continued to allow them to steal us blind.
Instead of welcoming the token gift from the Toking president, Iran treated it as extorted money and doubled down on the behavior they had exhibited for decades. They funded terror and destabilized the region which helped ISIS to get a foot hold even as Barry kneecapped our efforts to stop them from our side.
For the last forty years Iran has been beset with unrest. back in the 80's they outlawed fast motorcycles because dissidents would use them for driveby shootings on imams. The bikes made escape much easier and guaranteed the escape in nearly all cases. Many of the young embraced radical islam,but there were also many who wanted to embrace peace and prosperity, to live in a world not dominated by the rantings of a pedophile with tertiary syphilis.
I wrote yesterday that President Trump likely spoke with many world leaders prior to eliminating Iran's hard liner, General Blew Eyes. Is it in the realm of possibility that he communicated with the Ayatollah? We know that after  General Nuisance was turned to ashes that close to a hundred of his close associates were detained.
That could have been in a search for a mole, or it may have been that The Iranian government wants to begin real dialog about ending their forty year isolation from prosperity. Canada has over 200,000 Iranian expatriates. the United States has many more. Many of them have relatives in Iran whom they go visit on occasion. Many of those families are Persian Jews and Coptic Christians. many others are people who were raised muslim and rejected  the satanic verses but do not embrace GOD now in any way. It was a plane load of those relatives who perished, a plane load of poster children for ending the islamist theocracy.
So, what really happened? Ocam's Razor says the simple explanation is that a crew of semi-literate, poorly trained gunners simply screwed the pooch.
It is also possible that some one saw the death of the terror king and the subsequent impotent response as a sign that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was shifting to a softer stance and ordered the shoot down to derail any such move.
Let's remember that senator drunkard Ted reached out to Russia to thwart Reagan's efforts to end the cold war even though it was a Russia trained sniper who killed his brother. So anything is possible. When people act to fulfill the demands of satan rather than GOD they will behave in the most bizarre manor and do unimaginable evil.
