I did, but I'll admit to knowing far less of what his business is. I think most of what people knew about him was from him ocassionally popping up in news about Iran-US relations.

No significant amount of people are idolizing him or spinning him as some idol. Its the actions of assassinating a general of another country that are absurd. Theres no reason the general public would know about him specifically prior to this.

I don't get why people are acting offended by just the question. But no TC, had no idea who he was...it's not like we hear of middle eastern leaders names or politics. We only hear when things like what happened to him, happen.

Agreed. There's no politics related in the original post; just whether or not you knew about this man.

I am not saying for the US. I am saying for Iran.
We just radicalized a bunch of people who probably really weren't that level concerned previously.

Youre either using the phrase did you even to imply that whether someone knew who he was or not is pertinent, or youre wildly unaware of connotations of certain phrases

I see. That is fair then, and a valid point.

he gets killed. there's a general response to it. you ask "did you even know who he was?"

you're getting the appropriate responses.

Most people didn't know what Aleppo was until they saw Gary Johnson not know what Aleppo was.

Ya, sorry. In the context of the question, I could see where that would be lost.
tbf, I didn't know his name before this.

But if someone asked me, "Is a cool idea to take out and second in command on a whim, anywhere" ...I'd probably say, No.

Good times, good times.

Knew the name but with little detail.

He was loosely mentioned through the late 90s.
