A Game Changing Moment in History

Iran's mass murderer is dead (IHRS)
The opposition expressed  by Democrats (and some isolationist Republicans) in Congress to the U.S. military action against Iran is disgusting beyond words. It is reminiscent of congressional opposition to U.S. entry into World War II.

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...
