Just asking

I think your judgement and prescription for them is overly harsh.

Many if not most Iranian Americans, their families fled the murderous Islamist regime in Tehran. Naturally they'd celebrate when a HATED leader in their country of origin is killed, no matter who it's done by. And since they're AMERICANS, many are probably quite pleased that America accomplished it, and have hoped for she would do so for a long time.

I don't begrudge them celebrating any of that, but to each their own
