Friends, it appears that President Trump has decided to role the dice! He's authorized massive, sustained strikes on Iran, with the explicit goal of overthrowing the theocratic regime there. Will it work? Your guess is as good as mine. It's now up the people of Iran to step up to the plate. I hope they will, and I hope some of their patriotic police and military leaders will help them do it. The best case scenario might be a caretaker government led by the son of the former Shah, but honestly almost any new faces in the Iranian government are bound to be an improvement on what we've got. Of course, that's what a lot of Iranians said back in '79 too, and look how that turned out! There's no question that we're taking a huge risk here, but the potential upside is vast, so I'm glad Trump pulled the trigger. You can't promise help and then offer none...

ReplyDeleteWill these strikes be the equivalent (many times over of course), of hitting Bruno Tattaglia at 4 in the morning? I think at least one of our warships should be The U.S.S. Corleone.
Bad jokes aside, had Carter done this in 1979, Trump would not have to spend all this money now.
Once again, let's not get that Shah gang back in Iran. They were bad enough with that SAVAK S*t and whatnot.
No matter what, that special brand of Islam will still be hanging around over Iran, which in itself is a problem, as can be seen by the current regime.
At best they can rename the place Persia, which is what it was called for thousands of years until 1935.
