You believe in the legitimacy and utility of democratic constitutional republics and you consider this to be a substantially different stance from being pro-democracy? Really? Might want to rethink that.

Just tell me one thing: whose property do you intend to seize or destroy in order to stop Iran's nuclear armament? Bodies are property too, mind you. Tell me exactly what you are advocating for, for clarity. Just Iranian government agents? Citizens too? American taxpayers? How much destruction is it worth?
Any amount to make them stop developing arms that can destroy large numbers of my fellow citizens and allies. I don't give a fuck about their people more than mine. Fuck off or get fucked off. I'm under no obligation to let a known enemy gain the ability to harm me. Does that sufficiently answer your question?
It's not word salad. Either you support rule by coercion (statism) or you support personal responsibility and consent, holding everyone accountable to the same laws (anarchism). If you come from the classical liberal tradition and yet you are finding yourself confused by this, that's on you. You've got some work to do and no amount of intelligence will cure intellectual laziness.
