IRAN
Do we really have the luxury of finding out that Iran really isn’t lying like a dog while it feverishly works to create a nuclear weapon? Don’t we believe that Iran is preparing for peaceful space exploration when they test seven ICBM’s simultaneously? And then test more the next day. Do we believe that history cannot repeat itself? Are we as naïve and foolish as previous generations were when confronted with evil men pursuing evil goals of personal power and tyranny? Do we believe these same men who consort with terrorists and still call the US a “great Satan”? Lest we forget, these are the same “revolutionaries” who seized our embassy and kept our fellow Americans hostage. Although for those of us fortunate enough to live in the byproduct of the American Revolution, applying the term revolutionary to these miscreants is deplorable. Iran does not deserve to be treated like a nation in the company of other civilized countries. She deserves to be treated as a rogue cur, rabid with the fever of zealotry masking the purpose of her tyrannical masters. America should act now, in consort with her allies, even if that consists solely of Israel, to remove the Iranian potential for developing a nuclear weapon. It is doubtful in the extreme that Iran will exercise the same restraint and judgment that the Cold War adversaries did when possessed of massive opposing arsenals. It is more likely that Iran will convey these weapons into the hands of fundamentalist Islamic terrorists who will have no compunction about using them against American cities. The Middle East has been at war for a thousand years. It’s not very likely that peace will break out anytime soon, rather with the present ilk of leaders in control things will probably get a lot worse. A weak, indecisive United States of America will send a message of encouragement to those maleficent leaders that by their own definition are the enemies of our country, our allies and the peace of nations.
