and that they have a complex and sophisticated society which is about to be destroyed. The OP didn't say it was perfect. But they were pointing out that they aren't "savages" either (not that it would be acceptable to bomb civilian infrastructure even if they were savages).

I work with a few civil engineers who immigrated from Iran and earned their degrees there. I'm sure they have their issues with the current regime but are also having some mixed feelings about their life's work being decimated by a racist, demented old coot who gets off on blowing things up.
