What’s happening in America right now regarding the Iran War is giving me sickening flashbacks to 2004.
Democrats didn’t care about the mission accomplishment of the men and women our nation sent downrange to fight in Iraq. They didn’t care that the one and only tool the bad guys in Iraq had was to randomly kill a few Americans every week for the specific and deliberate purpose of breaking the will of the American public. They didn’t actually care about the sacrifices of our war dead and injured.
No, they saw the war as a political cudgel that they could use over and over and over to achieve power, with utter disregard for how their inflammatory behavior emboldened our enemies and helped those same enemies achieve their strategic aims.
The same exact thing is happening now with Iran, with a difference being that soulless, amoral NeverTrumpers have joined the Democrat bandwagon of fulfilling our enemy’s strategic aims.
There is, of course, one other major difference: the mullahs of Iran actively seek the wholesale destruction of the USA and Israel, have a fanatical theological basis for wanting to do so, and nuclear weapons are their quickest path to that goal.
An Iran run by the mullahs with nuclear weapons would be the greatest danger to human society to emerge since the dawn of the nuclear age. Thankfully, our President and his team understand this stark reality, a reality that Democrats/NeverTrumpers ignore, because power is all they can see or value.
