A man in the arena

“If we do not defeat these enemies now, we will leave our children to face a Middle East overrun by terrorist states and radical dictators armed with nuclear weapons. We are in a war that will set the course for this new century — and determine the destiny of millions across the world.”

I don’t know what to write. I hope the threat is a bluff that works and the Iranians back down. This is a war we should not want.

The Iranians will develop nuclear weapons unless otherwise stopped. Multiple leaders of the Iranian government have claimed that the Israelis should be wiped out. No my dear liberal friend not occupied like the West Bank, annihilated. They also want us destroyed and proclaim that often. Iran also has a large and well trained Army, a rugged terrain more akin to Afghanistan then the flat desert of Iraq. And a world wide terrorist organization, Hezbollah, that we know has infiltrated the U.S.

The U.S. does not have the will to fight the long and bloody war that will involve destroying the Iranian military machine. And I do not know what we should do.
