I am simultaneously in a state of
euphoria and dread at the prospect of toppling the Islamic Republic of Iran.The face of evil - Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
Euphoria, because of the imminent demise of a state sponsor
of terror that is either directly or indirectly responsible for the deaths of
thousands of Jews worldwide. Euphoria, too, at the thought that a people
enslaved by a religious fanaticism - one that has been responsible for the
deaths of thousands of its fellow citizens since those fanatics took power in
1979—may finally be freed.
But I also dread the heavy toll
it may take to get us there. Iran is not going to go down quietly. It will use
every means available to survive, including the willingness to sacrifice life
and limb for what its leaders believe is a righteous cause in the eyes of God.
They have already promised to attack Israel if the United States attacks them.
How revealing that their first target of retaliation is not the U.S., which
would be attacking them, but a country that would not be attacking them at all.
I have no idea how many missiles
Iran possesses. But my guess is that if its leaders believe the regime is about
to fall, they will attempt to accomplish the one goal they have repeatedly
declared to the world—as a final offering to God before they go under. That
could mean heavy casualties for Israel, in all parts of the country. I dread
that happening in the extreme!
It appears that a U.S. military attack is imminent...
