The bombing of Dresden in WW2 killed about 25k civilians, and the firebombing of Tokyo killed about 100k. And those are just the two most famous ones (outside of Hiroshima and Nagasaki).

I will concede that on the ground, I don't know how regime change will happen without ground forces. Unless there's some internal militia that can force IRGC out, someone is gunna have to go in.
The most viable options that don't involve American boots on the ground are either Artesh (the Iranian army, distinct from the Republican Guard) staging a coup and/or the Kurds invading.

Or even better, save it until marriage. Unfortunately, outside of religious communities, that doesn't seem to be the preference of either men nor women.

Hlynka talked about Hobbes a lot (that wasn't why he was banned though).

The purpose of requiring a congressional declaration of war is to make sure that you avoid this problem by having democratic backing for your war effort.
I agree, but given that the last time the US declared war on anyone prior to starting hostilities was WW2, at this point that ship has not only sailed, but wrecked and sank to the ocean floor.
Ditto that when People magazine called Bill Clinton the sexiest man alive back in the day, though I'm a straight dude so that probably has a lot to do with it.
