The Iran Equation
Over the last several days I have been reading quite a bit about Iran (modern Persia). Perhaps you've been following the latest with Ahmadinejad (the current President of Iran); he is quite a character. Ok, so quite a character does not even begin to describe it, his ramblings reveal a Hitler like madman.
What ought the world do with such a leader? Most definitely everyone has an opinion; while driving home this afternoon I turned my radio to the AM dial to hear a bit of one man's (Michael Savage) opinion. It is his view that the US and Israel must preemptively attack Iran, with the strongest resolve.
In his State of the Union address in 2002 President George W. Bush declared, "Some governments will be timid in the face of terror; and make no mistake about it: if they do not act, America will." Then, 4 months after September 11th, his comments were applauded, now 4 years later it appears that rhetoric has changed. The 2002 State of the Union was the famed "Axis of Evil" speech; the President named Iraq, Iran and North Korea saying...
The price of indifference would be catastrophic, is there a catastrophe in the making? Four years ago it was said...
A long Standing ovation followed those words 4 years ago, will we stand now when it matters? There is no doubt in my mind that a war plan was drafted with Iran in mind long ago, I'd not be surprised if Iraq were the staging front for that fight. Even now as I write, our nation is recalling Marines to that front. Indifference and delay could very well prove catastrophic. Has the hook been set in the jaw of Meshech, Tubal, Persia, Ethopia, Libya, Gomer and Togarmah? If so, will America have much to say? Perhaps we're overextended keeping Babylon at bay.

States like these, and their terrorist allies, constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world. By seeking weapons of mass destruction, these regimes pose a grave and growing danger. They could provide these arms to terrorists, giving them the means to match their hatred. They could attack our allies or attempt to blackmail the United States. In any of these cases, the price of indifference would be catastrophic.

We'll be deliberate, yet time is not on our side. I will not wait on events, while dangers gather. I will not stand by, as peril draws closer and closer. The United States of America will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons.

Hey Miles. I read your August 25th and 26th blogs about the middle east, I just have nothing really to comment on =). These are strange times we're living in.
