Big news

This Iranian bad guy has been taken out, and the usual suspects are complaining.

It cannot be a really bad thing to take out a really bad guy.  Therefore, the only really valid concern is if the satisfaction is worth what this may cost.

Is it worth a war to kill this guy?  What if the Iranians killed off one of our most senior military leaders?   Then what?  Tit for tat?  The Iranians could play that game, but are we willing and able to?

It is not cricket for American leaders to complain about Trump's decision.  Nobody should expect anything positive from them.  My concern is that if this blows up, will the public see this through to completion?  Will the public be willing to pay the price to take out the Iranian regime if the Iranians decide to retaliate?
