Usually I try to stay out of these political debates primarily because one person's political opinion is unlikely to change that of another and it frequently ends in an argument. But sometimes I can't hold it in. So here goes.
For about 40 years, this radical government of Ayatollahs has been a thorn in the side of many countries in the middle east and around the world. From the time they took 52 American hostages in 1979 and until this very day, they sponsor terrorism throughout the region and the world. They feel they can attack cargo ships without consequence that are traversing in international waters. I have no quarrel with the majority of Iranian people. I have met several friends over the years that were from Iran whom were lovely people. My quarrel is with their radical government. My friends left their home country because of this ideology. One of Americas biggest mistakes was not taking this government out when the opportunity was there. Jimmy Carter has gone down in American history as being one of the worst leaders ever. He is a good human being but a horrible leader. We have sat by ever since and watched this rogue nation build its military and pursue its nuclear ambition. They frequently flaunt UN resolutions. But then again, why should they do anything to conform with the rest of the world. They have faced few repercussions. Yes, the US and other nations have placed sanctions on their government only to have some of these nations continue to trade with them through the back door. France and other nations are known to talk tough, only to fail to practice what they preach. If Iran is allowed to acquire nuclear weapons, we are all in trouble. I believe without a doubt, they will at the very least attack Israel with these weapons. After all, they have publicly declared on more than one occasion, that their mission is to destroy Israel. We need a leader who is not going to put up with the crap of that demonized government. I do not advocate invading that nation with our troops or attacking innocent citizens, but I do advocate eliminating that government by any other means necessary.
Many of you remember when Muammar Gadafi the dictator of Libya was pulling much of the same crap. He ordered the bombing of a Pan Am plane and a nightclub full of innocent people along with other terroristic acts. Ronald Regan dropped a bomb right on his palace and with other strategic locations. We didn't too hear much from him after that. In fact we would not have heard anything from him again if not for the Italian Prime Minister tipping Gadafi off to leave his palace shortly before the bombing.
My point is as history has shown, the Iranian government is not going to change for the better. They will grow more dangerous. What revenue they do generate goes first to terrorism and the military. Many of their citizens are very poor. I believe as I said earlier, the government of Iran must be eliminated. I know my opinion is probably not shared by the majority, but I would target every palace, every military and government installation, every radical leader and reduce them to rubble. I would wait no longer. This needs to be accomplished before they can produce a fully functional nuclear system.
Off of soap box now.
