I honestly do not know what it will take for the country to realize that Iran is an imminent threat to the USA. Did everybody forget that 46 Americans were killed and 12 were kidnapped by Hamas on October 7, 2023? And please do not tell me that Hamas is not Iran. Iran funds Hamas (and Hezbollah and the Houthis) and supplies them weaponry. Iran aided the various militias in Iraq when our troops were fighting and dying there. And Hezbollah killed 220 of our Marines in 1983. And Iran has continued to attack US military bases throughout the Middle East.
When do we say it is past time for Iran to pay the price?
Iran recently bragged to Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff that they have enriched enough uranium to make 11 nuclear bombs. How many times does Iran have to threaten the United States (the "Great Satan" to the Aytollahs) for people to believe that they want to annihilate us? Do people really prefer that Trump give billions of dollars to Iran, the way Obama and Biden did? Don't tell me how those funds were simply released to Iran, as it was their money. What difference does that make? The money enabled them to fund further terrorist attacks, and accelerate their nuclear program.
So, instead of eliminating the threat that Iran is, we should shower them with more money, because that will make them want to be part of the civilized world? If anyone truly believes that, then you are living proof of an oft used maxim in my blog: "liberals let their beliefs dictate their reality, conservatives let reality dictate their beliefs."
I also don't believe the poppycock being voiced by some Israel haters that Israel led the USA into this war. Every President this century - every single one - said that Iran must not be allowed to get nuclear weapons. But what did they do about it? Either appeasement and/or sanctions. Sanctions have never succeeded in deterring a country determined to get nukes. As for appeasement...please. But when Trump said that Iran must not be allowed to get nuclear weapons, he meant it. And, he realized that the only way to stop them was by military action. Not by appeasement. Not by throwing money at them. Not by sanctions. But by force.
Unfortunately, some of our so-called allies in Europe and the Middle East refused to get involved initially. Then Iran started hitting them too, and at least some have come around. What a shame, however, that they would not stand with US from the outset.
As for me, I stand 100% behind President Trump in his effort to end Iran's nuclear capabilities and, hopefully, bring about regime change. Iran has been a threat to America and the world since the Islamic revolution of 1979. It is past time for the mullahs to go. As one very astute world leader said back in 2009 at the UNGA meeting: our fight against the religious fanaticism of the mullahs pits "civilization against barbarism, the 21st century against the 9th century, those who sanctify life against those who glorify death."
May G-d bless America, President Trump and our troops.
