Does regime change ever work? History tells us long‑term consequences are often disastrous

"The latest US-Israeli bombings in Iran differ from last year’s, because one of
the stated aims this time is regime change.

Engaged in the mass murder of civilians at home and fomenting violence abroad,
the current Iranian regime has few friends internationally.

Many would be glad to see Iran undergo a far-reaching program of political
reform. For many in the Iranian diaspora, regime change imposed from outside is
better than none.

But the historical record of imposed regime change, particularly as undertaken
by the United States, is patchy at best.

Things rarely go to plan, and the long-term consequences are often disastrous."
