IRAN: “History will judge us”?

For 40 years the leaders of Iran have shouted “America — the Great Satan and Death to America.” Every president since and including Bill Clinton has said that “we cannot allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon.” Yet when Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump I, and Biden all left office, Iran was closer to having nuclear bomb grade uranium. When Trumps negotiators Steve Wykoff and Jared Kushner came back from Pakistan in February, they reported to Trump that their negotiators had the gall to brag about how close they were to having enough bomb grade uranium to make eleven bombs. Trump went into action.

If someone pointed a gun at you, would you wait to see if they were going to pull the trigger, or would you do something? The radical Muslims running Iran don’t have the same values we have. We value life. They don’t. They feel there is a reward to dying for the cause of spreading their religion. They say openly that their religion requires them to convert America and the world or eliminate those who won’t convert. Are you willing to gamble they won’t pull the trigger?

In terms of losing the midterms to the Democrats, we would be better off losing the midterms and winning this war to keep Iran from ever having nuclear weapons. Losing the midterms won’t kill any Americans.
