Neither your response nor Levianon's response answers my question.
No doubt Soleimani was a bastard and the world is a better place without him. But he has been replaced by Esmail Ghaaani. The same as of yet unknown threats alleged by Trump that existed under Soleimani exist under Ghaani. What has CHANGED with the death of Soleimani?

The days of pretend "red lines" are over. You cross that line you will have ramifications. Are we better off with the elimination or removal from power of any "terrorist leader"?
Opinions vary on this from all the way back from the removal of the Shah of Iran, through Saddam/Qadaffi/Bin Laden/Bin Ladens successors, etc, etc, through Soleimani.
In the end as several threads have mentioned, there is little disputed that the guy was a bad guy responsible for murders of countless people including Americans.
And even when you have commentators saying things like it was the right decision but the wrong POTUS, you know much of it is now just political wrangling.
