Ned: Your desire to throw bouquets in PIC's direction has you attempting to conflate Khamenei with Hitler. Hitler murdered six million Jews, gypsies, gays, and others, and he started World War II. Khamenei was not a good person by any stretch, but he just doesn't come close to being in Hitler's ballpark. Your suggestion that perhaps Khamenei was gonna unleash World War III or Armegeddon on the world is wildly speculative at best. He and his colleagues didn't manage to do it for over 47 years. But they were just weeks or months away from doing it? OK ...
As for your first paragraph, above, how about Trump evacuating at least a few Americans? He knew or should have known that bombing the crap out of Iran was gonna put them at risk. Doesn't take a genius to figure that one out. How about him having made at least some effort to build public and/or Congressional support for taking military action against Iran? Bush 41, Bush 43, and Obama all did so. I thought this guy was the "peace president." He's bombed seven (7) different countries since the start of his second term, and he's only getting warmed up. His Department of Defense has been rechristened the Department of War. It's obvious that the name change comports with his world view. He has yet to find a country he wouldn't like to bomb or hit with a tariff.
