We’re supposed to be happy that some Iranian dictator died? … I think for most people that is bullshit. Most of us have almost zero connection to that country, we don’t know the history, and that’s OK, but it also means we don’t need to have strong views about the moral character of its former leader. We can speculate that he was a piece of work, and maybe that’s true, but there’s also tons of CIA propaganda, so we’d have to do real research to find out what the truth is before making any serious judgement.
