| Iran's mass murderer is dead (IHRS) |
In both cases, there was a regime that mass-murdered its own
people with a goal of eventual world domination. And in both cases, members of
Congress argued that since there was no immediate, direct threat to the U.S.
mainland, we should not get involved. In the current conflict, they add that
the president violated the Constitution by declaring war. Which is the purview
of Congress.
It is truly mind-boggling that there are people in Congress
who profess to care about atrocities being perpetrated against innocent
civilians yet could not care less about the massacre of tens of thousands of
Iranians in very short order by a rogue Iranian nation. I guess the only human
lives they care about are the Palestinians in Gaza.
I keep hearing that there was no imminent threat to the U.S.
Maybe so, but there was the constant daily threat by Iran to tens of thousands
of their own citizens. Who have already experienced the deadly consequences of
their regime’s displeasure at their protests. If a powerful nation is in a
position to help those people overcome their murderous regime, I think it has a
moral obligation to do so. Just as the U.S. did in World War II when it was
Germany committing such crimes. Then it was Hitler. Now it is Khamenei.
I could therefore not be more pleased with what happened
over Shabbos. In a joint military exercise with Israel - the first of its kind -
Khamenei was killed along with his top military commanders and strategists. I
believe it was the Israeli Air Force that was responsible for that particular strike.
What a joint mission like this says about Israel’s military
and intelligence capability is that Israel is an invaluable asset to the U.S.,
and that the IDF and U.S. forces are comparable and compatible in their
military capabilities. It also helps put the intelligence failures of October 7th
behind us and restores Israel to its former glory. Furthermore it makes a
mockery of claims by antisemites like Tucker Carlson and his fellow travelers,
who keep insisting that Israel has no value to the U.S. - and is only a
liability.
For the first time in 47 years, since the terrorist regime
seized power in Iran and took 53 American hostages for 444 days, the U.S. has
finally done something about it. I don’t think it is an exaggeration to say
that Iran is one of the greatest dangers to world peace since Nazi Germany. And
for the first time since America’s victory over Nazi Germany and Japan, the
U.S. military has shown itself worthy of being called the most powerful nation on
earth.
Iran, on the other hand, has proven itself to be the danger
to the world it has long been accused of. Not just to Israel. Not just to the
U.S. by attacking its military bases in the region. But even to its own Arab
neighbors.
Not only did Iran fire ballistic missiles at Israel, it
fired missiles at Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the UAE, Kuwait, and Qatar.
Arab nations that wanted to remain neutral and refused to allow their airspace
to be used by U.S. and Israeli air forces. By firing on those countries, Iran
united them against itself and effectively opened their airspace.
If one wants to see the moral justification for this attack, all they need do is...
