An Ideology is not Killed by a Killing

This recent attack on Iran was very unexpected but i think Iranians were tricked for the second time. The same thing happened last summer. Negotiation was going on between the Iranian and American officials and all of a sudden the air strikes happened. So did it this time. I was all distracted by the State of the Union and then the negotiations in Oman and then Switzerland and all of a sudden I heard on the news that the Americans and Israelis were attacked again! That's a dirty trick. 
What was more surprising to me was the fact that the Supreme Leader was not able to dodge Israeli attacks! There's no doubt that the intelligence system of Israel and the US is strong but could he not hide?! Were his security personnel predicting this?! What a bunch of ignorant and incompetent morons who only are able to kill innocent peaceful protesters!
Nevertheless we shall wait to see what this conflict leads to but one thing is certain: You cannot kill an ideology by killing a few people. Early celebration is ignorance. Look at the Taliban: The Americans were in Afghanistan for 20 years. They killed the Taliban's leader. Where is Afghanistan now? Back to the 15th century! Primitive and backward as always! Killing the supreme leader and the military commanders has certainly its effects but it's not the end of the story.
