IRAN: Time for the grown-ups to take charge

So we’re finally at war with Iran, the world’s greatest sponsor of terror, responsible for thousands of American deaths over the past 47 years. 

Iran was on the verge of producing nuclear bombs with capabilities reaching worldwide (including America). Iran has been at war with us for nearly half a century. On their first day in power their hate-filled chants were “death to America”. It’s about an Islamist ideology that calls for all of us to fall on our knees bowing to Allah. This is their philosophy, plain and simple. 

Europe opened their borders to Islam and many countries have now lost their freedom and sovereignty. With Iran, seven American presidents have continued to kick the can down the road. Then Trump came along (again), a president with a brain, a backbone and a deep love for America and future generations, knowing that peace is better than war but war is better than nuclear annihilation. 

“If not now, when? If not us, who?” Hillel the elder, 1st Century Jewish sage. 

Hussein Obama tried to negotiate a 10-year window to a nuclear bomb, gave Iran billions in unmarked bills, loaded them on two cargo planes (in the middle of the night) destined for Iran! Sleepy Joe gave Iran billions of dollars and removed all Trump’s sanctions. It appears to me that Obama and Biden both encouraged and abated Iran in its quest for a nuclear arsenal — the word “fools” comes to mind. Now, socialist-Democrats scream about “Trump’s Iran war” — it’s laughable! 

I would strongly suggest that socialist-Democrats sit this one out. It’s time for the grown-ups in the room, and common sense, to take charge. Period!
