My grandfather narrowly avoided death under the Iranian regime. But I am not celebrating Trump’s illegal war

Plenty of comparisons have been drawn between George W Bush's chilling "Mission Accomplished" address on that obnoxious warship in 2003 and Donald Trump's disgusting announcement on Saturday, when he urged the people of Iran to rise up against a deeply violent regime and "take back your government", all while the US and Israel drop bombs on their heads, like we're in some kind of US government propaganda action movie. 

In what world can a regular person "take back" their government amid foreign bombs and a system intent on killing them?…
