Our job wasn’t to replace the Iranian regime. Our job wasn’t to give the Iranians “democracy” or a Constitutional republic. Our job was just to destroy the Iranian regime, because it was the # 1 sponsor of world terrorism for 50 years (primarily against America) and it was in our interest to do so. The rest is up to the Iranians. If they create a new terrorist regime, then we will have to destroy that one too, most likely.

People critical of Trump’s actions are caught in a false alternative. Either we fix Iran, or do nothing to defend ourselves. No to BOTH! We cannot fix Iran. Only the Iranians can pull that off. Look how well trying to fix Iraq and Afghanistan worked out. But we must defend ourselves. It’s plausible to assert that 9/11 and so many other things would not have happened without Iran’s direct or indirect help. Sooner or later, thanks to billions in aid to Iran provided by Obama and Biden, Iran would have acquired nuclear weapons and used them offensively, first against Israel and eventually against American troops and cities. Why Obama, Biden and other treasonous Democrats still walk free after giving a mortal enemy the means to incinerate us all is beyond comprehension.

YES (a thousand times YES!) to Trump’s intervention against Iran. Trump is an American hero. NO to any hint that we owe anyone else anything. The world owes US for getting rid of the Iranian regime. Well, the world owes those of us who voted for President Trump, at least.
