After many years and changes of administration, the President of the United States shows executive leadership in action instead of more empty rhetoric about negotiations, bowing to weakness, and caving in to weak-kneed appeasement advisors. The current war against our number 1 enemy, the Iranian government, sends a message that should resonate with our other enemies. Like Iran, Russia is a police state with a GNP less than that of Michigan. The same holds true for North Korea. Put together, their combined military/industrial capability is less than that of Texas. The President is correct in his decision and fulfills his sworn duty to protect our people, our country, and the Constitution upon which all our freedoms and security are based.
The Iranian state has sponsored international terrorism through surrogates, e.g., Islamist State, Hamas, Hezbollah, and others. It has wrapped itself in the flag of Islamist extremism to kill Americans, cow our allies, and further corrupt American leftists. Even this past weekend we see deluded U.S. congressmen condemning the action with the feeble (and erroneous) argument that the President should have asked first for congressional approval before striking the enemy. Appeasement has never worked; it only shows weakness and invites further demands. History has proven this truth.
I genuinely hope that this is the war to totally annihilate at least one enemy and seriously warn others. A limited strike like the one that wrecked Iranian nuclear sites a few months ago will merely allow the enemy to regroup, reorganize, rearm and fight on. Half-measures avail us nothing.
God bless our arms, and God bless America!
